Operation Pacer Goose

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland -- The Ocean Giant waits in the bay for tanker operations to finish, while the Rising Star, the Air Force’s only pusher boat, motors through the bay. The Rising Star helped position cargo ships into and out of Thule’s port during Operation Pacer Goose, Thule’s annual resupply mission. Thule is located 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle and is home to the northernmost deep water port in the world. Both the CPO Germany and Ocean Giant had to be escorted through the ice by a Canadian Coast Guard ice breaker. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Levi Wells)
