CFS Churchill, Military research station in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
The Canadian Forces station stretches across six acres of land, featuring elevated buildings and radio antenna fields in northern Manitoba's tundra landscape.
The Royal Canadian Navy established Naval Radio Station Churchill in 1950 for ionospheric research and signal intelligence during the Cold War period.
The station employed the first Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service members in northern Canada, marking a milestone in military service integration.
The buildings were constructed on elevated piles to prevent damage from shifting permafrost, demonstrating specific engineering solutions for Arctic conditions.
The facility contained Canada's largest network of rhombic antennas, enabling extensive monitoring of radio signals across the northern territories.
