Point Barrow Air Force Station

Point Barrow Air Force Station, located in Alaska near the northernmost point of the United States, was a remote military installation primarily used during the Cold War. Its main purpose was to track and monitor Soviet missile and aircraft activities, providing early warning and strategic defense capabilities. The station included radar equipment, communication systems, and support facilities, serving as a key part of North America's early warning network. Today, much of the site has been decommissioned, but it remains a significant location for scientific research and historical military operations.
