Thule Air Base Fuel Station

This military fuel depot at Thule Air Base is your last chance for diesel and aviation fuel before heading into the high Arctic wilderness. The station primarily serves U.S. Air Force operations and research missions, but civilian expeditions with proper permits can arrange fuel stops. Expect strict security protocols and advance coordination requirements.

Access requires prior authorization through Danish authorities and the U.S. military. The base operates year-round but civilian access is typically limited to summer research seasons. Fuel is expensive and availability varies with military operations schedules.
