Dew Line

The Dew Line was built in the mid 1950ies . It was a line or radar sites built from Alaska all the way across the Canadian arctic ending on the east coast of Baffin Island . the sites were approx 200 miles apart . They were built as a early warning system against Russian bombers at the height of the cold war . Distant Early Warning System, hence Dew Line .
