Nothing novel about this. Russia is claiming the North Pole and underwater territory up to the Canadian cintinental shelf.
The "Ridge" the Russians keep claiming happens also to be attached to Canada, so it will be interesting to see why the other argument isn't equally valid, that Canada owns the undewater ocean floor up to the Aisan Continental shelf...
