The shadow of the United States looms over southern Greenland: “We’re going to lose our homes”

El interés de Trump por controlar la gigantesca isla danesa y explotar sus recursos naturales inquieta a la población

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

The Narsarsuaq Museum in southern Greenland no longer has fixed hours due to a lack of visitors since the airport closed in spring. The museum, located in a former military base, can still be visited if someone asks Ole Guldager to open it. The museum building is a long, red wooden barrack with a brick chimney, and features a corroded radial engine from a World War II plane near the entrance.

The site also includes a landing strip built by US soldiers. The US is now seen as a growing threat to Greenland's sovereignty and natural resources, with plans to potentially reopen three bases, including Narsarsuaq.
