In this episode we explore why the remote Pituffik Space Base in Greenland has become a centerpiece of modern Arctic competition. As the northernmost U.S. military installation, the base supports critical missile warning, space surveillance and early warning missions for the United States Space Force and NATO under a long-standing defense agreement with Denmark. Its strategic location above the Arctic Circle gives it unmatched vantage to monitor northern approaches and orbiting satellites. With climate change opening new sea routes and great-power rivals increasing polar activity, Pituffik’s importance is rising.
