A fun example of an island which is not disputed: Märket is a small uninhabited island located between Sweden and Finland. It's divided between the countries and Finland even built a lighthouse on the wrong side of the border!
Another example i the island Kataja, which didn't even exist when the border between Sweden and Finland was drawn, but now sits on the border.

- robin_reala 11y agoMärket’s amazing: rather than Sweden demolishing or trying to take control of the lighthouse they both agreed to redraw the border in a somewhat symmetrical way to retain the same amount of territory.
