Description
Vardo, a municipality in Finnmark county in the extreme northeastern part of Norway, is the only town in Norway situated in arctic climate zone. Since 1998, the town has housed a radar installation called Globus II. Its official purpose is the tracking of space junk; however, due to the site's proximity to Russia, and an alleged connection between the Globus II system and US anti-missile systems, the site has been the basis for heated controversy in diplomatic and intelligence circles.
