Hans Island

Hans Island, Nunavut, is a tiny (1.2 km2), unpopulated island south of the 81st parallel in the Kennedy Channel (the northern part of Nares Strait), almost equidistant between Ellesmere Island and Greenland. The Greenlandic word for the island is Tartupaluk (Greenlandic is a language spoken by Greenland Inuit). For decades, both Canada and Denmark claimed ownership of the island. On 14 June 2022, however, the two countries settled the dispute, dividing the island roughly equally between them.

Haskell Free Library and Opera House

The Haskell Free Library and Opera House has the distinction of being partly in Canada (Stanstead, formerly Rock Island, QC) and partly in the United States (Derby Line, Vermont), making it a point of interest of Stanstead, one of Canada’s border towns. As its name implies, it contains a lavish 400-seat theatre as well as a library. Inside the century-old building, a line of black tape runs the international boundary between both countries. The portion of the Haskell Free Library and Opera House located within Canadian territory was designated a National Historic Site by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in 1985. Similarly, the American portion is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.
