==Dispute==
A disagreement over a 200-square-kilometre section of the Lincoln Sea emerged after 1973 when Canada and Denmark signed a treaty<ref>{{cite web|url=http:// international.gc.ca/media/aff/news-communiques/2012/11/28a.aspx|title=Canada and Kingdom of Denmark Reach Tentative Agreement on Lincoln Sea Boundary Backgrounder|year=2012|publisher=Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada|accessdate=16 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222235231/http:// international.gc.ca/media/aff/news-communiques/2012/11/28a.aspx|archive-date=22 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> establishing the offshore boundary north of Canada's [[Ellesmere Island]] and [[Denmark|Danish]]-controlled [[Greenland]] but left portions of it undefined.
From Canada's point of view, the point of focus in the Lincoln Sea dispute has been Denmark's inclusion of [[Beaumont Island (Greenland)]] (not to be confused with [[Beaumont Island]] off the west coast of [[Graham Land]], [[Antarctica]]) off Greenland's northwest coast in calculating the boundary. The boundary is determined in that region by an "equidistance" principle that draws the line halfway between points along each country's coastline. Canada has basically argued that Beaumont Island is too insignificant to be used by Greenland to help determine the international boundary.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.canada /edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=4dd58b3c-e40d-4767-b943-1b6da9572a70.pdf|title=Canada, Denmark start talks to resolve border dispute|year=2010|publisher=Edmonton Journal|accessdate=19 June 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512221442/http://www2.canada /edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=4dd58b3c-e40d-4767-b943-1b6da9572a70.pdf|archivedate=12 May 2013}}</ref>
