National Helium Reserve
The National Helium Reserve is an American strategic reserve of over a billion cubic feet of Helium gas, stored at the Cliffside Storage Facility about 12 miles northwest of Amarillo, Texas in a natural geologic gas storage formation. It was established in 1925 as a supply of lifting gas for airships, and in the 1950s became an important source of coolant during the Space Race and Cold War.
