Canadian Forces Station Alert (French: Station des Forces canadiennes Alert[5]), often shortened to CFS Alert (SFC Alert), is a signals intelligence intercept facility of the Canadian Armed Forces at Alert, in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada.
Located on the northeastern tip of Ellesmere Island, Alert is the northernmost continuously inhabited place in the world.[1] It takes its name from HMS Alert, which wintered 10 km (6.2 mi) east of the present station off what is now Cape Sheridan, Nunavut in 1875–1876.[6]
