Whisky Wars: Denmark and Canada strike deal to end 50-year row over Arctic island

The Nato allies have been involved in a good-natured spat over ownership of Hans Island since 1971.

Since 1971, the countries have been "fighting" the "Whiskey Wars" to settle competing claims over Hans Island.
Successive expeditions from Ottawa and Copenhagen have braved icy conditions to plant bottles of alcohol on the tiny 1.2sq km (0.75sq-mile) rock.
But now officials have agreed to divide the outpost roughly in half.
The prank war began after the countries convened to settle boundary disputes in the Nares Strait, a channel 35km (22 miles) wide of cold water separating Canada and Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Finally peace

It's just a shame that it's caused so much damage to the natural resources and to the residents of Hans Island for all of this time.

Whisky/Schnapps War (Canada vs Denmark) ends after decades

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-and-denmark-reach-settlement-over-disputed-arctic-island/ A dispute over an island in the Arctic between Canada and Denmark has finally been settled. The funniest part about this dispute is how each country would leave a flag and a bottle...
