Mining, petroleum and gas projects in the far North are increasing transport activities in the Arctic Europe. The Arctic regions are predicted to become a major new transport route for the global economy.
Things are really happening around the metal and mineral deposits in the Arctic region. The Kevitsa mine is being constructed near Sodankylä to exploit nickel, copper and platinum deposits in the area, and signs of even larger deposits have been detected.
