Runway 08T-26T Posted by david on February 22, 2025

Note that the runway designations end in "T" because they're based on true rather than magnetic headings; that's standard for airports in the high Arctic.

This is a U.S. military base, operated within NATO under the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement.
