Resources in the arctic and human impact on the arctic
some major resources found in the arctic is oil and natural gas. there is an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil and 30% of undiscovered natural gas. But drilling for oil is bad for the environment because it can harm or kill some of the animals in the water. what we can do is stop drilling for oil or find a better way to get it out,
