Summary:

"This installation explores the remnants of the DEW Line (Distant Early Warning Line), a defence system set up across the North of Canada to detect any potential invasions of North America by the Soviets. This long-range radar and communications line traces a magnetic frontier across the Arctic territory from west to east. Of the many stations built between 1954 and 1956, most were subsequently abandoned, but never dismantled. Deteriorated by time and weather, these sites constitute a veritable archive whose historicity is circumscribed deep within a conflict played out far from the public eye"-- Publisher's web site.
