Media interest in High North

Barentsobserver.com, a multi-linguistic news site producing and publishing news stories concerned with the High North, have published this editorial pointing towards geopolitical interest in the High North as the motivation behind Russia offering Iceland a substantial loan in order to battle to financial crisis.

It should be noted that Barentsobserver.com is managed by the Norwegian Barents Secretariat, a project funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Needless to say, Norway has a keen interest in the High North and a big conflict of interest with Russia, this news site contains a bit of a bias. Having said that, it is a very good source of information from the High North.

This article from the news site EUobserver.com offer insight as to where the Norwegian Barents Secretariat is going with Barentsobserver.com.
