Learn about the strangest borders in the world | Mix

Ammon – sure! Here are some examples of some of the strange frontiers in the world:

1. The Netherlands-Belgium border (each other’s municipality): The two municipalities are located exactly between the Netherlands and Belgium, and they are each other. These two municipalities are called “each other’s municipalities” (Baarle-Hertog in Belgium and Baarle-Nassau in the Netherlands). There are complex and strange boundaries that run between real estate properties and even within homes.

2. India-Bangladesh Border (Desire Border): The India-Bangladesh border is among the most complex borders in the world. This area is known as the “Desire Frontier”, as there are small islands of Indian territory within Bangladeshi territory and vice versa.

3. Border between Canada and Denmark (Haan Island): There is a small island called Han Island in the Atlantic Ocean, located between Canada and Denmark. Denmark owns and administers this island, but it is considered an independent territory under the sovereignty of Denmark.

4. Pakistan-Afghanistan Border (Duran Line): There is a strange line known as the “Duran Line” between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This line crosses several valleys and rivers, and in some places it is difficult to determine the exact boundaries due to the mountainous terrain and running water.

5. The border of Norway and Russia (Chukotka Island): The island of Chukotka is located in the Atlantic Ocean, and is part of Russia, but it is located only a few meters from the Norwegian border. This region is interesting given the geopolitical challenges it faces between the two countries.

These are just some examples of strange frontiers in the world. There are many other borders with unique and strange characteristics, and they reflect the geographical, historical and political challenges faced by different countries and regions.
