As the sea ice melts quietly, it is becoming easier and easier to enter the Arctic Ocean  Arctic resources that were once economically unexploitable have also surfaced  The Arctic is known as the second Middle East, and its greatest resources are oil and natural gas  57 million years ago, the Arctic Ocean had a warm climate and lush life  Scientists have drilled and sampled ocean ridges at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean and found thick organic layers of ferns and plankton in sediments and large amounts of plankton and other organic matter in carbon-rich black cores  This carbon-rich deposit is a prerequisite for the formation of oil
Sure enough, since the 1960 s, abundant oil and gas have been found in the marginal seas of the Arctic Continental Shelf
The conclusion that the Arctic is rich in natural resources has been confirmed.
