Abstract：As global temperatures are rising and ice melting in Arctic becomes more and more serious,the global warming may cause a new maritime line, Arctic maritime line, to be formal in the world, and Arctic will become the Mediterranean of the world in the near future. The new world map edited by us has special advantage to clearly show this future new maritime line and directly compare it with Suez maritime line, Panama maritime line and Cape of Good Hope maritime line.It is well seen clearly that the new maritime line is the shortest line for connecting Europe and Asia, much shorter than other three lines. Thus Arctic maritime line will highlight the strategic significance of Arctic in the near future.
