This was a Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line station until 1963. The runway outline is still visible.

This airport looks like it's a seaplane base, but it's actually a seasonal ice runway.

The US military originally built this airport in 1956 as part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line to detect Soviet bombers attacking over the Arctic during the Cold War. It is now a civilian airport with STOL air service.
