It would provide a significant position on the international energy market at a time when the energy security is becoming the most frequent topic in international negotiations. Countries surrounding the Arctic area are becoming aware of these factors and take an action to get part of the area.

Presented article deals with the analysis of the Arctic region from the perspective of international law and fossil fuel reserves which are according to recent surveys located in this area.
