In October 1941, the United States Army Air Force established an airbase at Kangerlussuaq, serving as a refueling stop for military aircraft flying to Britain during World War II. The 170-kilometer-long Kangerlussuaq fjord posed navigation challenges due to frequent fog. Today, the site is the largest commercial airport in Greenland, and modern technology has resolved navigation issues. Additionally, Kangerlussuaq was used for upper atmospheric scientific research, involving the firing of 33 missiles from 1971 to 1987.
