A border is kind of lame. They should have made it a condominium, like Pheasant Island.

Instead of being a border, it should swap between both countries ever year in an obscure and bizarre changing of the guard ceremony that will continue centuries into the future until it's long forgotten why it all started in the first place --- like a sort of ceremonial war for the dozen tourists and polar bears that bother to make the journey - and the Inuit who probably find the whole thing incredibly stupid as the blank gunfire scares the seals away.
