A secret nuclear city was built under Greenland's ice by the USA. In 1967, it was abandoned but something dangerous got left behind

NASA rediscovered the remains of Camp Century, a secret US military base buried beneath Greenlands ice, during a 2024 research flight. Built during the Cold War, the underground facility was linked to Project Iceworm, a plan to deploy hundreds of nuclear missiles against the Soviet Union. The project was abandoned in 1967, but nuclear waste, diesel fuel and toxic chemicals were left behind.
