So there you've got the Canadian border to the north of the island via 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/34315996 and the Greenland border to 
the south of the island via http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/52872490 .  
Where are the bottles of whisky / schnapps that each side leaves for 
each other*?

Cheers,

Andy
