Edmonton Journal-New arctic patrol ships and expanded aerial surveillance will guard Canada's Far North and the Northwest Passage. 埃德蒙顿日报-北极新的巡逻舰和扩大空中侦察,将民警卫队加拿大的远北地区和西北通道(NWP)。
The fabled northwest passage has made headlines ever since it thawed last year for the first time. 去年,西北航道首次出现融冰现象,自那以后,这条传说中的航道就频上报刊头条。
And there are squabbles over new shortcuts for shipping around the Siberian coast and the Northwest Passage. 对于船只绕过西伯利亚海岸的新捷径以及西北通道(NWP)都存在着争议。
It has also reawakened an old debate over who owns the Northwest Passage sea route. 气候变化同样重提到一个旧日的争论:谁拥有西南通道的航线?
But the Northeast passage, like the long-sought northwest passage across the icy waters north of Canada, remains a treacherous place for ships to operate, especially those lacking ice-hardened, reinforced hulls. 但一如横穿加拿大北部冰冷水域,世人期待已久的西北航道(NorthwestPassage)对于船舶,特别是那些缺乏没有使用防冰增强和加固船体的船舶来说,东北航道依然是一个暗藏杀机的凶险地带。
