The Arctic has a number of specific attributes that determine its uniqueness in comparison with other regions of the Earth. They determine the specific way of life and economic development in Arctic. These attributes are remoteness, instability, fluctuating mobility, the discrete character of space etc. Especially instability and mobility are typical for many phenomena in the Arctic such as vegetation zones, climatic parameters, permafrost distribution; settlements network configuration, transportation routes, population, economic specialization etc.Instability generates uncertainty. The conditions of uncertainty evoke not only the costs, but also serve as a stimulus for innovative search. Better incentives to the innovation search allows us to recognize Arctic as a territory with immanently inherent conditions of the frontier.Frontier essence of the Arctic is investigated in the fields of Arctic urbanization, population migration as well as in the field of Arctic imagination. The work is based on surveys of Arctic migrants as well as the experiences of field study of Arctic city communities.
