There are signs that there could be life on Mars, so you should do much better. For example, how can you tell those supposed Vikings were of Norwegian descent? What special rights that gives you? Did you not hear of Slavic Vikings?

"To the south-east of Denmark lay the Wends (Vends) or the Slav tribes, who were in many ways just as effective raiders and traders as the Vikings themselves". "The Slavs were always under threat of attack from the Vikings as well as the Franks." "They also gave as good as they got , in military terms, sacking Hedeby in 1000 and harrying Denmark, Gotland , Oland and southern Sweden to such an extent that the Western Baltic was sometimes called Mare Rugianorum after the Slavic pirates of Rugen.

These are Slavs close to my heart – giving, at least whet they are taking. What Soviets stole from Russian people and gave to you is what we are talking about. According by the Svalbard Treaty of February 9, 1920, islands were not made a part of Norway and citizens of various other countries (Russia) have rights to exploit mineral deposits and other natural resources "on a footing of absolute equality". You do not have right to cliam sole ownership of arpichelago. What you are trying to do is to forcefully impose your imaginary rights on Spicbergen and when you try to board Russian fishing ship you have to be stopped – one way or another.

No mentioning of Vikings here. It would probably had said Wends not Viking. Furthermore this telling of Vikings are not enough to claim the land itself. Your logic is so strange its way beyond me. Russians came to Svalbard way later than other people. To you there are different rules for Russians and other people. When a Russian sets foot one place its his land even if others have been there for centuries. Its not strange that they control so much land. Why are you so caught up in this its not your home country. Russia controls a lot of land and sea compare to us. Its not like we are greedy.
This trawler will probably not come into this territory one more time. This is a warning to all other trawlers that are breaking the rules.
