Keyword being claim. People try to claim stuff all the time. I was just saying I doubt that they were saying this ice is ours. The more likely motive would be the natural resources under it.sergeriver wrote:

Of course, I understand where you're coming from, however if there's no land, there can be no claim.Kmarion wrote:

Untrue. People buy and sell lakes, rivers, and even the air above their land. It happens all the time in cities. Remember you are talking to someone who has a little bit of knowledge in this area . Littoral rights, Riparian rights, Subsurface rights are all considered real property.sergeriver wrote:

I'm talking about a sea, those are international waters. Nobody claims the middle of the Atlantic.Kmarion wrote:

I'm not disagreeing with you as far as that location. I was just telling you that those things can in fact be claimed with reasonable precedent.sergeriver wrote:
