Which countries own territory in the Arctic?

The eight countries that claim territory in the Arctic are Russia, Canada, the United States, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Each of these nations administers their Arctic territories through distinct governmental systems. While all land areas are under the sovereignty of these countries, the boundaries of sea areas, particularly exclusive economic zones, have led to international discussions and agreements, such as the division of the Barents Sea continental shelf between Norway and Russia.12
