Sondrestrom AB, Greenland.      The American and Danish flags flying over the office at DYE II.  These buildings are prefabricated Jamesway huts.  They are wooden framed, wooden floored buildings, covered with a plastic impregnated canvas insulated material and 2" of insulation.  They are heated by kerosene burning stoves.  Crude but effective and tolerably comfortable for arctic living.  Caption by Bill Nichols.  (Circa 1959)
