Knud Rasmussens og Peter Freukens Hus er blevet museumer -resten af de oprindelige huse er renoveret til sommerhuse for personale i Pituffik-Kan det være rigtigt? Den oprindelige befolkning må ikke bruge dem. De må kun bruge et hus der ikke er renoveret og hvor der tydeligt står at det er til fangerne. Man må ikke overnatte i Pituffik -ligegyldig hvordan vejret er. Kan der ikke være et bedre samarbejde baseret på respekt og udvikling.

Qaanaaq Thule, Greenland 2019 09-06-01
Qaanaaq (Danish name Thule) was the second furthest northern point we were able to reach. It is a quaint little Inuit Village with very friendly people. Lots of kids, and some of the folks showed of their traditional Inuit winter boots made of seal hide. Gary and Don took another hike up towards the local glacier - very tough going with big loose rocks much of the way.

The story of replacing the Greenlandic settlement Thule
It is a story of the settlement where most of Hivshu's relatives and ancestors lived for centuries. This documentary tells a real story of replacing the Greenlandic settlement Thule because of building the American air base Thule Air Base there. It happened in 1953 when more than 100 Inughuit villagers in Greenland were forced by the Danish government to leave their homes with only a few days notice. Now their way of life is threatened by climate change...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Thule Air Base, or Thule Air Base/Pituffik Airport (IATA: THU, ICAO: BGTL), is the United States Air Force's northernmost base, located 1,207 km (750 mi) north of the Arctic Circle and 1,524 km (947 mi) from the North Pole on the northwest coast of the island of Greenland.
Thule Air Base is the US Armed Forces' northernmost installation. Thule's arctic environment includes icebergs in North Star Bay, two islands (Saunders Island and Wolstenholme Island), a polar ice sheet, and Wolstenholme Fjord – the only place on Earth where four active glaciers join together.
Thule Air Base is home to the 21st Space Wing's global network of sensors providing missile warning, space surveillance and space control to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Air Force Space Command (AFSPC).
Thule Air Base is also home to the 821st Air Base Group and is responsible for air base support within the Thule Defense Area for the multinational population of Team Thule. The base hosts the 12th Space Warning Squadron (12 SWS) which operates a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) designed to detect and track ICBMs launched against North America. Thule is also host to Detachment 1 of the 23rd Space Operations Squadron, part of the 50th Space Wing's global satellite control network. The airfield's 10,000-foot (3,000 m) runway handles more than 3,000 US and international flights per year. Finally, Thule is home to the northernmost deep water port in the world. Thule is the only Air Force Base with an assigned tugboat. The tugboat is used to assist ship movements in the harbor during the summer and is hauled onto shore during the winter season. The tugboat is also used for daily sightseeing tours of Northstar Bay during the summer. Additionally, for a fee, there is a Danish tour boat that runs in the summer.
Thule Air Base has served as the regional hub for nearby installations, including Cape Atholl (LORAN station), Camp Century (Ice Cap Camp), Camp TUTO (Ice Cap Approach Ramp and Airstrip), Sites 1 and 2 (Ice Cap Radar Stations), P-Mountain (radar and communications site), J-Site (BMEWS), North and South Mountains (research sites), and a research rocket firing site. It also was essential in the construction and resupply of High Arctic weather stations, including CFS Alert (Alert Airport) and Station Nord.
