This set of images highlights the environmental responsibilities that remain, to this day, from the World War II period.  The United States operated several military bases in Greenland during this time to defend the country from the Germans.  To this day, many of these bases are yet to be cleaned up.  Bluie East Two is the name of one abandoned base in Greenland whose remains continue to litter the landscape.  The Inuit call these barrels, "American Flowers."  These images serve to remind us of our environmental responsbilities and to further highlight how the cost of war haunts us many decades later.
