Description


Arctic Passage The Northwest Passage is a sea route through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways amidst the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The various islands of the archipelago are separated from one another and the Canadian mainland by a series of Arctic waterways collectively known as the Northwest Passages or Northwestern Passages. Sought by explorers for centuries as a possible trade route, it was first navigated by Roald Amundsen in 1903–1906. The Arctic pack ice prevents regular marine shipping throughout the year, but climate change is reducing the pack ice, and this Arctic shrinkage may eventually make the waterways more navigable. However, the contested sovereignty claims over the waters may complicate future shipping through the region: The Canadian government considers the Northwestern Passages part of Canadian Internal Waters, but various countries maintain they are an international strait or transit passage, allowing free and unencumbered passage... Passage du Nord-Ouest Le passage du Nord-Ouest est le passage maritime nord qui relie l'Atlantique au Pacifique en passant entre les îles arctiques du grand Nord Canadien. Les diverses îles de l'arctique canadien sont séparés les unes des autres et du continent canadien par une série de chenaux, plus ou moins profonds, collectivement appelés passage du Nord-Ouest. Ce passage n'est praticable que le court été arctique car pris par les glaces le reste de l'année. C'est en 1490 que le navigateur John Cabot émit l'hypothèse d'un passage vers l'Orient par un passage par le nord-ouest. Durant près de 300 ans, plusieurs explorateurs vont chercher ce passage au prix de pertes humaines et de naufrages, mais qui permirent de connaître les îles arctiques. C'est le Norvégien Roald Amundsen qui le premier franchit le passage entre 1903 et 1906. Mais le réchauffement climatique, qui réduit la banquise, rendra peut-être cette voie plus navigable et qui intéresse le commerce maritime international car ce passage réduit considérablement les trajets d'Europe ou de la côte Est américaine vers l'Asie. La souveraineté sur ces eaux est contestée. Le gouvernement canadien considère ce passage comme étant dans les eaux intérieures du Canada, ce que certains pays comme les États-Unis contestent, considérant ce passage comme un détroit international avec libre passage... Histoire a suivre... Thanks-Merci M a g i k
