Bluie East 2
We stumbled upon an abandoned US army airfield and weather station from WW2 near Ikateq. It was one of many bases with the code name Bluie. This one, Bluie East 2 (BE2) never played an important role because of close mountains and strong winds down the fjord. It was mainly used for search and rescue operations. It was abandoned in 1947, leaving behind most of the equipment and thousands of oil drums.
