outpost in northern Greenland
At a remote outpost in Qaanaaq, northern Greenland, one operator runs an infrasound station which detects atomic activity year round.
It's part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test- Ban Treaty, an international agreement that bans nuclear explosions by everyone, everywhere — on the earth’s surface, in the atmosphere, underwater and underground.
Gerry Adams reports on a committed team of engineers that braves the elements to upgrade the infrasound station in order to save lives in the event of disaster.
