Into Darkness |
Dear reader. As usual, things are heating up in the North. Canada is looking toward the Nordics, Russia’s "shadow fleet" is growing even murkier, and we are reporting directly from NATO’s Arctic headquarters in the United States. This and more in this week’s newsletter.
Darkness descends in the north. Literally. The days are growing shorter, and soon the sun will take its leave for a few months as we welcome the polar night.
But this does not affect activity in the Arctic.
Journalist Hilde Bye met Stein Gunnar Hansen of Renewables Norway, who is leading the work on the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise’s new strategy for the business sector in the High North. The goal is to facilitate more investment in the region and identify the barriers that are slowing down activity.
USA is a recurring subject.
The Nordics becomes increasingly important to Canada’s Arctic research efforts. Journalist Linn Ophaug met Canada's ambassador to Norway, Amy Baker, who insists that this will not come at the expense of the country's research ties with the United States.
The Norwegian Armed Forces’ Operational Headquarters plays a central role in reporting the situational picture in the High North to the NATO command JFC Norfolk in the United States. Hilde Bye met with key personnel at both headquarters during a visit to the defense city of Norfolk on the U.S. East Coast.
The latest reports from Russia tells us that Putin is combining opaque ownership structures, manipulated ship-tracking signals and digital tools to keep its oil exports moving despite Western sanctions, including via the Arctic.
And a Russian radio station in Svalbard had to stop broadcasts after Norwegian authorities discovered that it lacked the necessary permits.

All the best from Editor in Chief, Trine Jonassen |
