DYE 4 is one of nearly 60 radar sites set up during the Cold War as part of an early-warning detection system that stretched across the far north of Canada. Build in cooperation between the US and Canada, the project was a hugely expensive undertaking, and DYE-4 was one of its most vital links. System was abandoned in the late 1980s when satellites made its 200-foot-tall radar domes obsolete, but the structures are still standing-according to recent visitors, snow drifts fill most of the rooms now. DYE 4 was decommissioned 24 Sept 1991.
