Secretary of State Antony Blinken, newly embarked on a swing through Arctic countries, may need the extended summer daylight to handle the crisis in the Middle East as well as his scheduled talks. But Blinken has a real chance to bolster U.S. national and climate security interests in Denmark, then Iceland where he will participate in the Arctic Council Ministerial, and finally Greenland. Along the way, he will hold his first meeting with Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov, recommit to northern allies and partners on climate change, and provide a check on China’s growing interests in the Arctic all key to Biden administration priorities.

Leaving their home station of Little Creek, Va., Seabee Divers of UCT 1’s Construction Dive Detachment Alfa (CDD/A) boarded a plane to Thule Air Base (AB), Greenland. Upon arrival, they met with Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 1 from Gulfport, MS. Their mission was to establish and maintain an ice camp, dive under four feet of ice, and test construction and diving equipment in polar temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thule AB was established in 1953 and supports Ballistic Missile Early Warning System missions. The base is composed of Air Force, Space Force, and Danish personnel. Due to the polar environment, it served as an excellent training ground for UCT 1 to dive under the ice. UCT 1 has conducted many ice dives before, but never to this scale. The thickness of the ice, the temperature of the air, and the wind velocity were all extremes compared to what CDD/A has experienced before.
