Having fun on base in the north

Soren Andersenmajor general and head of Arctic Command, was last week at Pituffik Space Base in connection with the base’s holding of Greenlandic Heritage Week. This is what Arctic Command writes on its Facebook page.

It is an annual event in April that celebrates local Inuit culture, tradition and community.

This year, among other things, there was an egg hunt for children, while there was a dog sled race for the more adult part of the population.

The major general came to Pituffik in a Challenger plane, which was later open to the public, just as a presentation was given on Arctic Basic Training.
