North Star Bay (Danish: North Star Bugt, also called Thule Harbor or Bylot Sound[1]) is a bay in Wolstenholme Fjord, Greenland.
The bay was the site of a Cold War nuclear accident when a B-52 bomber carrying four thermonuclear bombs crashed, spreading contaminated material over the area. Thule Air Base is located at the edge of the bay.
