NUUK, Greenland — The United States, Russia and other nations agreed Thursday to coordinate Arctic search-and- rescue missions, a small step toward international cooperation in a fast-changing frontier threatened by looming fights over resources and military dominion.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the agreement among the eight- nation Arctic Council highlights the growing importance of the Arctic, where climate change is creating new shipping routes, fishing grounds and oil- and gas-drilling opportunities.
