[edit] airstrip

I believe this place may be home to the world's most northerly airstrip, but what about Alert? Anyone know more about this? — Trilobite (Talk) 00:52, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well if there is a runway by Alert (I do not know?), then its more northern then the one located at Station Nord (btw the station has always been named “Station Nord”, not just “Nord”), by about a 100km. Alert is over 82 north latitude, while Station Nord is just under.

There is runways at cape Harald Moltke and Brønlundhus but they are still not as north as Alert. However supposedly there is one at cape Morris Jesup (the most northern point in Greenland), and if that is true, then it is about 50km more northern then Alert. The one at Brønlundhus is the northern most classified as a “permanent” station. Twthmoses 02:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Alert definitely has an airstrip --Commking 10 Oct 2005

They made a TV movie out of the crash of a C-130 on the way to Alert in the middle of winter. 70.55.200.47 22:13, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the second paragraph about?

The second paragraph doesn't make much sense in the context. Is this about an expedition to the north pole or something like that? cfs14
