Radioactive Greenland
The fjord near Thule Air Base, Greenland has elevated radiation levels, the result of the 1968 crash of a B-52 carrying four hydrogen bombs. One of the H-bombs was apparently never recovered, a fact that provoked anger here in 2000, when it became public.
But in recent years, the most contentious issue has been the U.S. refusal to clean up dump sites.
The United States said if they were to clean up after themselves at Thule they would be met by similar demands in the Philippines, Japan, and elsewhere in the world and didn’t want to set that precedent.
