Abstract
Abstract With the question of sovereignty over Hans Island settled between Canada and Denmark, all territorial claims among Arctic states have been resolved. The 2022 agreement between the two states is discussed in the context of their cooperation in oceans matters, including a contemporaneous minor adjustment of a 1972 seabed boundary and coordinated extended continental shelf claims. The provision for the access of indigenous Inuit people to Hans Island is considered. The 2022 agreement as an exemplar of acting in mutual interest toward resolving a maritime territorial dispute is reviewed.
