I've read that the Chinese have had a successful passage. That was north of Siberia. When I look at the map, it occurs to me that if there were a trade route it would probably go to Europe and to the United States. So one would be used on the Russian side and the other would be used on the Canadian side.

We're taking a lot of things for granted, that we have to see a continuation of global warming and opening of the passages. That would be correct as well. There would not be just one passage, but two, correct?
