A mistake in mapping; Hans Island is divided  perfectly in half between Canada and Denmark. Both countries claim it as their own. As a contested space in the north, the control of Hans Island could mean the control of the channel in which it sits and majorly affect the inclusion of the Northwest Passage as either being included in Canada’s internal waters or as an internationally recognized free trade route. The control of this tiny island has, for a long time, been somewhat of a joke between these two countries, with the claim of it changing every number of years. Each time doing so the opposing country leaving a bottle of whiskey in its lighthouse for the new captors.
