evidence: Decades after an uninhabitable, windswept Arctic island sparked an unlikely dispute between Canada and Denmark, the world map will be redrawn: The countries have announced that they will split ownership of Hans Island, which is located in the 22-mile-wide Nares Strait between the northernmost point of Canada and Greenland, part of Denmark’s kingdom. [...] In the 1970s, Canada and Denmark began squabbling over their Arctic boundaries and came to the negotiating table to resolve where exactly the maritime borders of both countries lie. Though Canada claimed it owned Hans Island, Denmark disagreed. And though the nations agreed on an official dividing line in a 1973 treaty, they were unable to come to a compromise on Hans. [...] Now, the decades-long tussle has come to an end with an agreement to split Hans Island along a north-to-south rift that nearly bisects it, with Greenland getting the slightly larger half. Both nations celebrated the agreement as proof that territorial conflict can be resolved without weapons.
