Russia has launched an ambitious plan to bolster its claims to the riches of the Arctic ocean, hoping to create a new shipping route as ice in the region rapidly melts.

The project is being watched closely by other nations, as a UN deadline fast approaches for any nation to stake a claim in the resource-rich region.
