The territory was awarded by the first Prime Minister of Greenland, Jonathan Motzfeldt in 2000,[5][3] after the then crown prince completed a four-month-long expedition from Qaanaaq (Thule) and north of Greenland down to Sled Patrol Sirius' headquarters in Daneborg, an expedition that stretched over 3000 km and completed by dog sled.[5][3]
