ABSTRACT
ARCTIC FLYING AND ITS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES By the beginning of the twentieth century a great deal more was known about the Arctic, and interest had increased accordingly. A beginning was even made with the political division of the area. The initial terra nullius concept was replaced by other ideas, now that fisheries, mining and radio stations began to mark national borders. Flying reinforced this development by opening areas which had been out of reach so far to exploration and exploitation.
