Hi John,

Are you referring here to Hans Island? It is where your left arrow points. Hans Island was divided between Ellesmere Island, Canada (40%) and Denmark (60%) by a treaty between the two countries in 2022. It is a barren uninhabited rock but it does create a new unusual border between Canada and Denmark.

Sorry, gents. I didn't notice that the text did not copy over. It said, "There is only one island between Canada and Germany."

Depends on which direction you're going.
