Title: Russian Expedition Aims To Claim Arctic

MURMANSK, Russia, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- An icebreaker is heading for the North Pole to stake Russia's claim to the arctic, a polar explorer said Sunday.

Explorer Artur Chilingarov told RIA-Novosti President Dmitry Medvedev rescued the expedition with essential funding after scientists appealed to him when its fate was in doubt.

The nuclear-powered Rossiya set out from Murmansk Saturday on a 25-day journey to the pole. The icebreaker will deliver the SP-38 polar station with 15 explorers to a drifting ice floe for a yearlong stay. The ship's lease costs 2.4 million rubles a day.

The expedition is meant to provide "scientific substantiation" for Russia's claim to arctic territories, rich in undersea oil and gas, said Chilingarov. He led a Russian expedition that planted a flag on a contested portion of the arctic seafloor in 2007.

"It is not easy to prove that the arctic shelf belongs to Russia," he said. "An attempt was made but only science can prove that it does."

The Rossiya is carrying equipment that can "see through" sediment and rock and will be delivered to the polar station "to help substantiate our claims to the Arctic Ocean and the Lomonosov Ridge," Chilingarov said.

Todd and Sarah will beat them there on their snowmobile, and plant an American flag.

What a pic.

The other people (including her husband) are seriously bundled up against the cold... and she sits there with the styled hair, makeup and glasses, posing for the cameras.

What a bimbo!

Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.

The whole purpose of the picture is face time. That's hard to get when bundled up for the cold. Lighten up. It's what politicians do.

Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)

Indeed!

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

But then again, so is 2/3 of the country...
