File Description:
This was a DEW line I Station on the southeast shore of King William Island; the island is around 70 miles square and Gjoa Haven is also on the southeast corner, 20 miles to the south. The station was closed in 1963 and has now been totally dismantled and removed except for a fallen 300 feet communications tower. The runway is still there (mostly) and is around 3,360 feet of gravel 120' wide, aligned 146T/326T. There are no lights, signage, or windsock, or any building remaining. All of these DEW line stations are not particularly impressive or even interesting. However, you can bet that any pilot flying regularly in the north along the coast knows where all these runways are, in case one of them suddenly becomes his favourite in the whole world just after the sudden silence.
