The reports in the media were somewhat exaggerated. We should have put this map in the middle, but what can you do. The geological and bathymetric information on the map clearly shows the location of the contiguous Canadian continental shelf. Overall, the shelf is located within the 200 nautical miles of the exclusive use zone. What is being debated are the extensions of this shelf. The Lomonosov ocean ridge and the Alpha ridge are extensions, but the contiguous shelf is clearly defined and does not extend to the North Pole.
