MOSCOW (AP) Two deep-diving Russian mini-submarines descended more than two miles under North Pole ice to stake a flag on the ocean floor today, part of a quest to bolster Russian claims to much of the Arctic's oil-and-mineral wealth.

The Mir-1 resurfaced after spending eight hours and 40 minutes under water and the Mir-2 mini-sub returned an hour later, Strugatsky said, according to Tass.
Strugatsky said the Mir-1 had to spend about 40 minutes near the surface before it found a patch of sea free of ice, Tass said.
