As US ties fray, Europe plans first undersea cable link to Greenland
摘要
欧盟计划建设首条直接连接欧洲与格陵兰的海底互联网电缆。北极电缆项目还可能延伸至加拿大，并最终连接日本和韩国，且明显绕开美国。该项目被列为欧盟委员会2026年10月20日联合通讯中的旗舰项目，文件提出支持格陵兰与欧盟直连的主权、安全且有韧性的海底电缆连接，并建议加拿大等志同道合伙伴可为未来向亚洲扩展提供跳板。大西洋理事会高级研究员伊丽莎白·布劳表示，五年前该项
The European Union plans to create the first subsea Internet cable directly connecting Europe to Greenland. The Pan-Arctic Cable project could also extend to Canada and eventually link with Japan and South Korea, notably bypassing the United States.
The Pan-Arctic Cable is described as a European Union flagship project in a European Commission joint communication published on October 20, 2026. The policy document describes a new European strategy for the Arctic that supports “a sovereign, secure and resilient submarine cable connection linking Greenland directly to the EU,” while also suggesting that “like-minded partners like Canada” could provide a stepping stone for future cable expansion toward Asia.
“It is interesting that this project is even being considered, because five years ago it would have seemed like not a particularly commercially attractive proposition,” Elisabeth Braw, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who leads the Threats to the Global Maritime Order Initiative, told Ars. “But the fact that it's being considered is very much on trend and a sign of our times.”
