A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Greenland's strategic role during the Cold War, focusing on the 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash, which scattered four nuclear bombs across the ice. They discuss the secret Project Iceworm, the 1953 forced relocation of Inughuit villagers from Uummannaq to Qaanaaq, and the lingering legacy of radioactive contamination. The conversation also touches on the Greenland Treaty of 1985, which removed the territory from NATO's nuclear umbrella, and the ongoing controversy over uranium mining. Drawing on declassified documents and firsthand accounts, the hosts reveal how Greenland's ice became a frontline in superpower tensions—and how those tensions still affect the people of the island today.
