Welcome

Between 1953 and 1957, U.S. Airmen were sent to two remote bases buried in the Greenland Ice Sheet for months at a time. The isolated locations and harsh weather on the ice offered little in terms of recreational activities other than what could be done inside. Highlighted here is a window into what the men stationed at these bases did while not on duty. They were known as Sites I and II as well as N-33 and N-34. To the public they were weather stations. In reality, they were gap-filling radar stations watching for Soviet aircraft. You can learn more about these bases and what's in store for them in the future by reading this blog post.
