pre-1940). However, the NORU border does and this is further north.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, there must also be an international boundary in the narrow sea <br/>
channel (sorry, don&#39;t know the name) between northern Greenland and Canada. <br/>
I imagine this is permanently frozen which I guess could be considered to <br/>
be a &#39;land&#39; frontier.<br/>
<br/>
BTW - is there a FINORU tripoint, and if so, does this make it the most <br/>
northerly international tripoint? Another thing to consider is the <br/>
international boundary between Canada and Greenland which must extend <br/>
pretty far north.<br/>
<br/>
