What's Canada's case?

How does a country lay claim to the seafloor?
Under the convention, a country can secure control of ocean floor beyond the internationally recognized 370 nautical kilometre limit if it can demonstrate the seabed is an extension of its continental shelf.
What's Canada's case?
An Arctic expert at the University of Calgary, Rob Huebert, recently told The Canadian Press that Canada does have a geologic justification for its claim -- an undersea mountain range called the Lomonosov Ridge that stretches north from Ellesmere Island in Nunavut.
The Arctic is believed to contain as much as one-quarter of the world’s undiscovered energy resources. Canada, Demark and Russia say they believe the mineral and oil-rich Lomonosov Ridge, which runs beneath the ocean and close to the geographic North Pole, is a natural extension of their continental shelves.

From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.
