Since 1973, a small uninhabited island in the Arctic Strait of Nersa has been a disputed territory.

It is located exactly halfway between Canada and Greenland, which belongs to Denmark, on the border of their territorial waters.

The island of Hansa has gained notoriety as the subject of the most peaceful of territorial conflicts.

In the mid-1980s, Canadian sailors landed on the island, raised a Canadian flag over it, and left a bottle of whiskey near the flagpole.

A few months later, the Danish Minister for Greenland arrived on the island, lowered the Canadian flag and raised the Danish.

Instead of the whiskey drunk by the sailors who accompanied him, he put a bottle of Danish strong drink aquavita and a note "Welcome to the Danish island!"

Since then, for 30 years, Canadian and Danish border guards have regularly landed on the island, changed flags and left opponents alcoholic beverages and letters.

Under the Ottawa agreement, the island will be divided between Canada and Denmark in half.

Thus, Denmark and Canada will have a single section of the land border, its length - about a kilometer.
