Camp Century, a Cold War-era U.S. military base in Greenland, was built beneath the ice sheet as part of Project Iceworm, a secret Pentagon initiative to construct a network of tunnels for storing and launching nuclear missiles.

 

The project, active from 1959 to 1967, aimed to create 2,500 miles (4,000 km) of tunnels under the Greenland ice sheet to house up to 600 nuclear missiles.

The base was publicly presented as an Arctic research center powered by a portable nuclear reactor (PM-2A), but its real purpose was strategic nuclear deterrence during the Cold War.

Only about 2 miles (3 km) of tunnels were completed before the project was abandoned due to the rapid movement and instability of the ice sheet, which threatened to collapse the tunnels.

In April 2024, NASA scientists using advanced radar technology discovered the buried remains of Camp Century, revealing the full extent of the tunnel network and confirming the site's military origins.

The base was left behind with over 47,000 gallons of nuclear waste still buried beneath the ice—raising environmental concerns as climate change accelerates ice melt, potentially exposing the waste by 2090. AI-generated answer.
