Hans Island was for years a border dispute, the so-called Whisky War between the two countries of Canada and Denmark.
In 1984, Canadian soldiers visited the island and planted a Canadian flag, also leaving a bottle of Canadian whisky.The Danish Minister of Greenland Affairs came to the island himself later the same year with the Danish flag, a bottle of Schnapps, and a letter stating "Welcome to the Danish Island" (Velkommen til den danske ø). The two countries proceeded to take turns planting their flags on the island and exchanging alcoholic beverages.In 2005 a Canadian man and an unknown source on the Danish side also posted advertisements on Google to "promote their claims".
The minor border dispute was often considered humorous between the two nations, with diplomats displaying good humour. Despite the serious official nature of the matter, the manner in which the conflict was prosecuted was light-hearted, demonstrated by the length of time taken to settle the dispute, if nothing else. The two nations are on friendly terms, and are also founding members of NATO.
In 2022, Hans Island was split in half after 17 years of negotiations.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not because it makes them lighter. It's because they need so much oxygen to fly that their lungs actually extend into their bones.
Hollow bones are also known as pneumatized bones since they are filled with air space. The hollow portions in a bird's bones are where air sacs are linked. Their lungs are almost as long as their bones.

Derinkuyu is a 2500-year-old multi-level underground city in Turkey, extending to a depth of approximately 85 meters.
It is large enough to have sheltered as many as 20,000 people together with their livestock and food stores.
It is believed to have been built by the Phrygians, an ancient Indo-European people, around the VIII to VII centuries BCE. The city was later expanded by the Persians, Romans, and Christians, who used it as a refuge during times of war and persecution.
Derinkuyu is one of the largest and most well-preserved underground cities in the world, extending to a depth of approximately 85 meters (280 feet) and covering an area of around 4 km² (1.5 mi²).
The city consists of multiple levels connected by tunnels and stairways, with living quarters, stables, churches, and storage rooms.
The complex was designed with self-sufficiency in mind, featuring ventilation shafts, water wells, and an ingenious system of large round stone doors that could be rolled into place to seal off passageways and protect the inhabitants from invaders.
