Old photos
Completed in 1943, the airstrip was made of gravel, and you can still see it dug into the cold earth today. Most of the useful items left at Bluie East Two, however, have been taken away over the past 70 years by the Inuit people.
However, anything that couldn’t be carried by foot or in small fishing boats remains where it was left. It’s also worth noting that old photos from the time of the facility’s construction show that it wasn’t just machinery needed to create the airstrip.
