What is Pituffik?

Information about Pituffik

Pituffik (approximately ) was a hunting village of the Greenlandic Inuit until the United States was given permission to build Thule Air Base in 1951. By 1953, all residents of Pituffik and nearby Dundas had been forced to move 130 km north to the new town of Qaanaaq, commonly known at the time as "New Thule". The Thule Air Base is also an area not belonging to any municipality. The population was 235 as of January 2005.
