Synopsis

The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line, was a system of radar stations in the northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the north coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. The intent was to detect incoming bombers of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and provide early warning of any sea-and-land invasion.

Today, the Arctic is home to new data storage centers and seed vaults, geopolitics, Indigenous rights
