The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Faded 1950s color slides from the Thule Air Base collection in Greenland include a stockpile of animal hides and carcasses gathered on a wooden rack near the installation. Such views record the traditional Arctic subsistence practices of local Greenlandic communities living alongside a strategic Cold War base.
