Are you aware that the people running these dog sleds are special elite naval units? Their training is considered one of the toughest in the world, comparable to the Navy Seals, perhaps even tougher, because Navy Seals and other US special operations forces engage in training exercises with the Danish Sirius Dog Sled Patrol. Look up Sirius Patrol.
Well, it has been enough to enforce Danish sovereignty the last 85 years. Remember, the environment is very hostile, even to a modern navy. It can get extremely cold, so planes and cars won't work. I would wager that you could pick any Navy Seal team or British equivalent, and they would not be able to pull off what the Sirius Patrol does. Two people and a dog sled on mission for up to 4 months.
Before you make fun of the dog sleds, look up "Sirius Patrol". These patrols consist of an elite naval unit. The training to become a Sirius Patrol member is comparable to the Danish Frogmen or the US Navy Seals. Even special US trainees take part in some of the Sirius training program, because the conditions in north Greenland are so tough. Normal vehicles and weapons cannot function in these harsh conditions. That is why dogs are used.
2 dog sleds KEK. We're taking Greenland for the family. Give it to us now, and we may not have you gelded.
The dogsleds comment was gold. Loved it. I wonder if royal families still play hunger games.
Bet they are staying at a local motel 6.

Yes but so what if they're elite naval units? There aren't enough of them to make anyone even lift an eyebrow.
