Russian explorers have planted their country's flag on the seabed 4,200m (14,000ft) below the North Pole to further Moscow's claims to the Arctic.
The rust-proof titanium metal flag was brought by explorers travelling in two mini-submarines, in what is believed to be the first expedition of its kind.
One of the two vessels has completed the difficult journey back to the surface, Itar-Tass news agency reports.
Melting polar ice has led to competing claims over access to Arctic resources.
Russia's claim to a vast swathe of territory in the Arctic, thought to contain oil, gas and mineral reserves, has been challenged by other powers, including the US. BBC NEWS | Europe | Russia plants flag under N Pole

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality. |
