Who Owns The North Pole?

There’s a new country claiming sole ownership of the North Pole.

FOX News Radio’s Bill Vitka reports: 

Move over Santa Claus — Denmark is laying claim to the North Pole.

A 12-year survey project has concluded that an underwater mountain range — running north of Siberia — is a geological extension of Greenland — the autonomous territory already controlled by the Danes.

As a result, they say 556,000 square miles of the North Pole belongs to them — an area about 20-times the size of Denmark. Five nations now lay claim to that territory, but Denmark is now the first country to declare outright ownership of the North Pole.
