Abstract

The Arctic Ocean is a hot belt of concertation and going to decide the future apart as well prominent powers improving their attraction in this region due to its geographical location ice cap is melting because of climate change and global warming. The research question of this article is that how the geopolitics of the Arctic Ocean are going to change in the future the objective of this study to explore an analysis of melting polar dynamics and geopolitical implications of climate change in the arctic ocean and to explore the role of major power interests and strategies in this area balancing economic opportunities and security concerns. This Rese adopted a qualitative approach as it is the collection and analysis of the selected literature available about the topic. Realism Theory is applied in this Article in the context of power. The Arctic is currently the fastest growing continent. Every Arctic country is making concerted efforts to stake claims to humans in the High North by opening colonies, intensifying military activities, increasing resource exploitation, and more. the Arctic Ocean is largely a confined ocean with two major channels. The Pacific end is severely restricted, while the Atlantic end is fairly open and flanked by long continental shelves. Persistent ice cover - a key feature of a wary and skeptical mariner's view has been declining year after year as a result of a warming polar climate, with higher temperatures for both air and sea. Almost all prominent scientists currently studying the global environment predict that this trend will continue, leaving people with treasures in the form of natural resources, strategically important terrain and highly efficient sea lanes of communication. You will have access to a vast collection of human history.
