Arctic island station severed by Arctic storm
In spring 1957 the drift station A began as an IGY project near Thule. A severe blizzard split the 2000 ft runway and severed the station from the floe, isolating 11 Air Force men and 9 civilians until rescue efforts reached Ellsmere Island. George Cvijanovich leads the Arctic studies team.
