Hans Island is still up for grabs.
The Danish foreign minister, Per Stig Møller, announced that a meeting between him and his Canadian counterpart, Lawrence Cannon, had not resulted in any further development in the dispute over who had sovereignty over the island, reports Sermitsiaq.
The ministers also discussed Arctic policy and climate change, with the foreign ministry stressing that the continued debate over Hans Islands sovereignty has no detrimental affect on the two countries otherwise good relationship with each other.
Hans Island, named after the nineteenth century Greenlandic traveller and translator Hans Hendrik, is believed by Denmark to fall under Danish sovereignty.
Geological surveys point to the Island being part of the Greenlandic land mass, and Denmark regard the 1933 ruling of the Permanent Court of International Justice, which granted Denmark full sovereignty over Greenland, as giving them undisputed sovereignty over the island.
However, Canada also points to geological evidence for its own sovereignty claims.
Hans!
There's no progress in deciding once and for all who owns Hans island.
