In the latest bid to solidify territorial claims within the Arctic Circle, Russia has unveiled plans to build a city for 5,000 year round residents 1,000 miles from the North Pole on the remote island Kotelniy in the Novosibirsk archipelago.

The current scheme proposes a floating nuclear power plant to supply the needs of the city. Refuse disposal will be handled by two factories that will convert all trash into ash. A self-sufficient food production structure that incorporates fish and poultry farms, greenhouses and wheat processing factories will provide the necessary sustenance for the population.

It’s a ridiculous project only planned to strengthen Russia’s claim to natural resources in the rapidly defrosting Arctic region.
