11 Islands Split Between Countries… One Has Three

Islands split between countries: a tiny rock Canada and Denmark argued over for almost fifty years with bottles of whisky and schnapps, the only place France and the Netherlands share a border, the Caribbean's highest and lowest points 85 km apart, and the only natural island split between three countries. Eleven divided islands on a real map. Plus one very small bonus.
