Been to Bluie One West, Thule AB in the early 60's. The curious approach up the fjord.  It was joint base.

Seems Greenland is much in the news these days. Interesting history, including some WW2 action against German weather station crews.

NY Times has an article where i grabbed this photo, January 8 2026 “Grab Greenland ?”

More photos from other sources online.

I recall some decades ago, i saw in some display in Seattle a hoodie – type outer garment that came from the Viking era Greenland. Fascinating.

This former airbase is also mentioned in WW2 memoirs of flyers. Was a going place, then.

A rusty, collapsed metal structure rests on barren ground with patches of white snow. Behind it, a blue body of water with ice floes is bordered by snow-capped mountains.
