Welcome to Ice City: Russia plans to build frozen community 1,000 miles
from North Pole... as race for Arctic minerals heats up

Russia is to build an ultra-modern city on a frozen island deep inside the Arctic
Circle - in the Kremlin's latest move to back its claim to vast oil and gas
reserves under the polar ice cap.
Named Umka, after a popular Soviet polar bear cub cartoon hero, the initial
5,000 residents will live under a vast dome to protect
themselves from temperatures sinking below minus
30C in winter.
'This city will be of strategic importance as Russia's northern outpost,' said architect Valery Rzhevskiy who has shown its modernistic designs to
an approving Vladimir Putin.
Extraordinary: The city will cost up to £4 billion and be
built on the remote island of Kotelniy, in the Novosibirsk
archipelago, some 1,000 miles from the North Pole
Vast: The Umka designs are based on the International Space Station but in comparison is much larger - one mile long
and 800 yards wide
Sources say it is likely to house soldiers, border guards and secret service officers, as
well as scientists and explorers, as Moscow gets serious about claiming Arctic
mineral riches.
All will enjoy a luxury lifestyle in the cocoon with its
own specially regulated temperate climate - including
many facilities to make inhabitants of other cities envious.
'We aim to have scientific laboratories, houses,
but also parks with attractions, an Aqua complex, hotels and a cathedral.
Naturally there will be schools, kindergartens, recreation zones, a hospital, and sport facilities are planned, too,' said Rzhevskiy.

'We want people who will be living and working here not to realise they are in some closed space with an aggressive Arctic climate outside.'
The extraordinary venture - nicknamed 'wonder city' - will be built at a cost of up to £4 billion on the remote island of Kotelniy, in the Novosibirsk archipelago , some 1,000 miles from the
North Pole, closer than any other Russian city.
Strong winds make it one of the most inhospitable places on the planet, and even in summer it barely
climbs over freezing point.

The Umka designs are based on the International Space Station, but it is vast by comparison -
just short of one mile long and 800 yards wide.
'So far it's the only project in the world with an artificial
climate and integral life support - just like on the space station. Not only is it a new word in architecture, but in human living too.
We have used aero and space technologies while creating it.'

Electricity will be supplied by a floating nuclear power station. Food
wise, it will be totally self-sufficient with fish and poultry farms, greenhouses,
a wheat processing factory and bakeries.
'There will not be any rubbish at all, as the city will have
two factories converting all kinds into ashes.'
It will house workers for local mines and oil platforms which should
pay the costs of the development, it is claimed.
'This project is designed to work on any surface, even on the Moon if needed,' said Rzhevskiy, one of Russia's top
architects.
The ice city plans - currently with no fixed timetable for opening -
comes as all countries with territory touching Arctic waters are gearing
up to make competing demands to the United Nations over underwater mineral exploitation rights.
Western countries were stung when in 2007 Russian polar explorer Artur Chilingarov placed his country's flag in the Arctic seabed in 2007.
'We must prove the north pole is an extension of the Russian land mass,' he said
at the time.
A Canadian think tank this year even warned that 'an arms race
maybe beginning', expressing concerns at the risk of conflict.
The U.S., Canada, Norway and Russia have all boosted their naval presence in Arctic
waters amid warnings of a Cold War that could literally be cold - except perhaps
at Umka.
