Bluie West One, later known as Narsarsuaq Air Base and Narsarsuaq Airport, was built on a glacial moraine at what is now the village of Narsarsuaq, near the southern tip of Greenland. Construction by the United States Army began in June 1941. The first aircraft landed there in January 1942, as a link in the North Atlantic air ferry route in World War II. The base had a peak population of about 4,000 American servicemen, and it is estimated that some 10,000 aircraft landed there en route to the war in Europe and North Africa.

  • Bluie West One fue un aeropuerto construido en una morrena glaciar cerca de la actual localidad de Narsarsuaq, situada al sur de Groenlandia. Su construcción comenzó en junio de 1941 a cargo del ejército estadounidense, y el primer avión aterrizó en sus pistas en enero de 1942. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial sirvió como enlace con la ruta de transbordadores militares del Atlántico Norte, albergando una población máxima de unos 4.000 militares estadounidenses. Se calcula que unos 10.000 aviones aterrizaron en la base en ruta hacia los frentes en África del Norte y Europa. También se construyeron otras bases aéreas en la casi despoblada costa oriental de Groenlandia, como Bluie West Eight, convertida luego en la actual Kangerlussuaq. (es)
