More commentary articles > Top		Fridtjof Nansen and Polhøgda FNI is located at Polhøgda, outside Oslo, Norway. Polhøgda was the home of Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), famous Norwegian polar explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanist, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Nansen lived at Polhøgda from its completion in 1901 until his death in 1930. His grave is in the garden in front of the manor. FNI News  No "Armed Mad Dash for Resources" Foreseen in the Arctic (17.12.2009) With climate change making the Arctic gradually more accessible, some observers have suggested that interest in Arctic natural resources and disputed marine borders could take on a military aspect. A new FNI study refutes this view, finding that dispassionate diplomacy is a more likely and rational way of dispute resolution than military confrontation.   More > New FNI Book on Maritime Delimitation Dispute in the Adriatic (01.09.2009) In a recently published book, FNI Senior Research Fellow Davor Vidas explains the legal and policy aspects of the Croatian-Slovenian maritime delimitation dispute. This dispute has been an open, and increasingly acute, problem for the relations between the two countries for the past 18 years.   More > Marine Biobanks and Aquaculture-related Patents (19.08.2009) What are the main legal questions related to marine biobanks, such as for instance Marbank in Tromsø?
