Hans Island – A most civilized land dispute
- CarolineW 11y agoHans Island ... is claimed by Canada, and by Denmark: The two countries maintain a sense of humour in the dispute. Peter Taksøe-Jensen has stated "when Danish military go there, they leave a bottle of schnapps. And when [Canadian] military forces come there, they leave a bottle of Canadian Club and a sign saying, 'Welcome to Canada.'" I freely admit that this might not be HN material, but I found it engaging and wanted to share it.
