THE PENTAGON'S ICEWORM PROJECT AND CAMP CENTURY - THE SECRET NUCLEAR CITY DUG UNDER THE ICE IN GREENLAND - Mother Nature sabotaged the plan - Watch declassified video

Camp Century was described at the time as a demonstration of affordable ice-cap military outposts. The secret Project Iceworm was to be a system of tunnels 4,000 kilometres (2,500 mi) in length, used to deploy up to 600 nuclear missiles that would be able to reach the Soviet Union in case of nuclear war. 

 
Greenland is closer to Russia than the ICBM fields located in the continental U.S. Rumor has it that the Danish government had no idea that the U.S. was considering installing nuclear missiles on Greenland.
 
The base operated from 1959 to 1966 when shifting icecap made living there impossible. Today, it’s buried and crushed beneath the Arctic snows.

I've reading The Universe Within  -  The Deep History of the Human Body -  and its author Neil Shubin, who has done paleontological research in Greenland, makes a passing reference to a US government project that seems right out of a thriller. 

The plan, Shubin writes, was concocted by the Pentagon and consisted on carving silos within the ice for six hundred nuclear warheads.  Connecting these silos were to be tunnels that contained an entire underground city given the futuristic name Camp Century.

  • Andrey Grachev's photos provide a rare glimpse inside the frozen grotto on a Olkhon Island at Lake Baikal 
  • Many adventurers have fallen through the ice, but he ignored the dangers to capture the cave in a beautiful sunlight
  • Andrey, from Moscow, found hundreds of icy stalactites and huge blocks of blue ice, known as ice hummocks
  • Russian photographer Andrey Grachev risked his life on the frozen lake to capture breathtaking images of the ice cave at sunrise

    Andrey's photos provide a rare glimpse inside the frozen grotto, but he had to travel across cracked ice that could give way at any moment

    ICE WARPS AS TALL AS MANHATTAN SKYSCRAPERS UNDER GREENLAND ICE

    Researchers have uncovered a hidden world underneath Greenland.  Beneath the barren whiteness, researchers say there are a vast series of sculptures the size of skyscrapers.  Using ice-penetrating radar, researchers have discovered the ragged blocks of ice as tall as city skyscrapers and as wide as the island of Manhattan at the very bottom of the ice sheet.

    The structures cover about a tenth of northern Greenland, the researchers estimate, becoming bigger and more common as the ice sheet narrows into ice streams, or glaciers, headed for the sea. 
     
    As meltwater at the bottom refreezes over hundreds to thousands of years, the researchers believe it radiates heat into the surrounding ice sheet, making it pick up its pace as the ice becomes softer and flows more easily.

    BEAUTIFUL FROZEN NIAGARA FALLS


    Millions of gallons of cascading water frozen in bitter temperatures.
     
    For the second time in what has been a frigid winter in the Northeastern United States, Niagara falls has come to an icy halt as the six million cubic feet of water that typically flow over the falls every minute has frozen over.

    Frozen: Some water continues to flow over the Falls despite the frigid temperatures
     
    The flow of water over the falls typically can withstand icy temperatures like those that have frozen much of the country this winter, but Monday's high of 9 degrees Fahrenheit brought Niagara Falls to a standstill - and photographers were there to snap some stunning images of the frozen waterfall.

    Photo op: A man stops to take a photo of the steam rising from the partially frozen Falls
     
    In January, another record-breaking cold front managed to freeze the mighty falls in a 'polar vortex' that turned the cascading water to ice - and affected about 240 million people in the U.S. and southern Canada.  

    Take two: This is the second time Niagara Falls have frozen over this winter, which is rare for the western New York tourist attraction


    No thaw is expected anytime soon, as temperatures at the western New York tourist attraction will dip below 0 degrees Fahrenheit Monday night through Tuesday morning.
