A proposito di questo titolo
The Cold War left behind one of the most astonishing military projects you’ve never heard of.
Beneath the vast ice sheet of Greenland lies the frozen remains of Camp Century — a secret U.S. Army base built in the late 1950s and early 1960s as part of Project Iceworm, a covert plan to install nuclear missiles under the ice capable of surviving a first strike. Designed as a sprawling underground network of tunnels powered by a nuclear reactor, the site was publicly described as an Arctic research station — but its true mission remained classified for decades.
Buzzing with cutting‑edge technology of its era, the base included living quarters, labs, and a reactor buried up to 100 feet beneath the ice — a “city under the ice” that was ultimately abandoned in 1967 when the shifting glacier made operations untenable.
Today, remnants of this secret nuclear city are being rediscovered by NASA radar scans, revealing not only a Cold War relic but also raising environmental concerns about buried nuclear waste poised to emerge as Arctic ice melts.
