Describes earth science investigations conducted at Centrum S℗ø, Northeast Greenland during May-August, 1960 to locate and test a potential emergency or air rescue airfield site on an ice-free, natural sandy surface. Contains maps, geological, meteorological, soil science and limnological information that support the conclusion that cargo aircraft could use the area for landing year-round, with minimal construction.
