Camp Century

A secret military camp with its own nuclear power plant, deep under the ice of Greenland. It sounds like the setting of a science fiction or horror movie, but Camp Century, a U.S. underground military base, really did exist. The camp was operational from 1959 to 1967 and consisted of 21 tunnels, in total three kilometers long. As the polar ice melts due to climate change, this legacy of the Cold War is literally coming to the surface, as is the nuclear waste left behind in the camp.
