À propos de ce contenu audio
For most of modern history, the Arctic was treated as a blank space at the top of the map. Too cold to matter. Too distant to shape events. A natural wall that sealed the world apart.
In this first episode, Michael Rugg explains why that assumption was always wrong.
Drawing on history, geography, and personal research, the episode traces how the Arctic moved from being ignored to becoming central to global strategy. From early misconceptions about ice and distance, to World War II’s quiet awakening, to the Cold War moment when missiles and radar turned the North Pole into a frontline, this episode lays the foundation for understanding why Greenland and the Arctic matter today.
This is not a story about sudden change. It is a story about long-standing realities finally becoming impossible to ignore.
The Arctic was never empty. We just stopped looking.
