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.
