<br/>
I guess we&#39;re all curious about how this conflict develops....I suggest Doug M. and Peter H. should be given the authority to settle this matter in August - over 1 (???) pint of Guinness in CPH...!<br/>
<br/>
WELL, BUT there HAS actually been some writing about this conflict<br/>
in today&#39;s Danish paper &quot;Politiken&quot;...<br/>
I&#39;ll put the (beautiful!!) picture of Hans Ø with the Danish flag<br/>
- sorry Doug! - into the photo section of BP later....!<br/>
<br/>
Text under picture:<br/>
<br/>
To the top: In 2002, the crew from the inspection vessel &quot;Aries&quot;<br/>
went ashore in order to erect a stonemarker on the island, as well<br/>
as setting a new flagpole on the SE corner of Hans Ø, which happens<br/>
to be the highest elevation on the island.<br/>
Right now, &quot;Dannebrog&quot; (name for the Danish flag, PH) waves over<br/>
the island, but this lasts probably only untill the moment the next Canadian frigate passes by...<br/>
<br/>
First few lines of the article:<br/>
<br/>
&quot;ICEBERGS to become part of the dispute with Canada!&quot;<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Hans Ø belongs to Canada&quot;, the Canadian foreign minister states<br/>
about this 3 km long rocky island W of Greenland.<br/>
&quot;We&#39;ve lost it long time ago&quot;, the opposition replies...<br/>
<br/>
