**Yes, yes, and maybe.** The island in question is [Hans Island][1] and is disputed territory between Canada and Denmark [due to some historical quirks][2], > According to World Atlas, Hans Island is located in the middle of the > 22-mile wide Nares Strait, which separates Greenland, an autonomous > territory of Denmark, from Canada. Due to international law, all > countries have the right to claim territory within 12 miles of their > shore. > > As such, Hans Island is technically located in both Danish and > Canadian waters. World Atlas notes that the island was decided to be > Danish territory by the Permanent Court of International Justice of > the League of Nations in 1933. > > However, as the League of Nations fell apart in the 1930s and was then > replaced by the United Nations, the ruling on the status of Hans > Island carries little to no weight. It is true that the militaries of the respective [claimants visit the island and both leave their national flag and schnapps or whiskey][3] it is unclear if these are meant as gifts or as territorial markers. > In 1984, Canadian troops made a fateful voyage to Hans Island. In > addition to planting Canada's flag in the rock, they also left behind > a bottle of Canadian whisky. Just one week later, a Danish official > visited the island, replacing Canada's flag with Denmark's and > replacing the whisky with a bottle of Danish brandy.

"And when > Canadian military forces come there, they leave a bottle of Canadian > Club and a sign saying 'Welcome to Canada.'"
