The foreign ministers of Denmark and Canada signed an agreement on Tuesday to demarcate the border of the uninhabited Arctic island of Hans Island, ending a decades-long territorial dispute between the two countries.
Hans Island, which covers an area of only 1.3 square kilometers, is located in the middle of the waterway between Greenland, Denmark, and Ellesmere Island, Canada. The ownership of Hans Island between the two countries is deadlocked. This is how the "war" of the two countries began: government officials and the military of the two countries took turns bringing their own fine wines - Canadian whisky and Danish gin - to the island and planted flags to "declare sovereignty". But as Russia invaded Ukraine, the two countries decided it was time to end the "whiskey war".
According to the agreement, Hans Island will be divided in two, about 60% of the rock will belong to Denmark, and the rest will belong to Canada, and protect the rights of the Inuit people to hunt across the island on the island. At the signing ceremony, the foreign ministers of the two countries exchanged wine for the last time in an attempt to prove that disputes can be resolved without major fights.
