The chief of the group Leif Eriksen\, was the son of Erik Redbeard born in Norway and later moved to Iceland. \nIn USA they are usually celebrating this event on the 9 October as a holiday. In the Nordics it is rare to observe this occasion. As his birthplace Greenland is a part of the Danish Kingdom and the strait between Greenland and Canada is of not only high strategic interest but also of cultural and historical interest. Inspired by the latest Netflix series Viking Valhalla which are closer to the historical facts\, we feel this could be a great occasion to celebrate here in Thailand at the Eastern Seaboard at the Danish restaurant Jomtien Boathouse. We plan to have this as an annual event. \nThe happy ending of the most peaceful border dispute in the World between Denmark and Canada; sets an example for the other border conflicts. \nBoth Canada and Denmark cast the “historic” agreement as an example of how border disputes can be resolved peacefully\, without warfare or bitter legal wrangling\, at a time when the rules-based international order is under strain — a reference in part to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. \nFor some five decades\, Canada and Denmark have squabbled — mostly\, but not always\, politely — over the not-very-exciting Hans Island\, a 0.5-square-mile mass in the Kennedy Channel of the Nares Strait that’s home to neither vegetation nor wildlife. \nThe 14 June 2022 agreement ultimately resolved the dispute in a rather equitable manner. By this agreement Hans Island will be divided along a natural ridge with roughly 60% of the area being allocated to Denmark and the remainder to Canada. \nAfter signing the agreement to applause\, alcohol and notes were exchanged for the last time.
