NASA aircraft uncover Cold War nuclear missile tunnels under Greenland ice sheet

The Wikipedia entry is interesting. Living there sounds nasty.<p>‘The sewage sump was 150 feet (46 m) from the nearest building and initially, was not vented. As a result, the odor of sewage became almost unbearable in the nearest quarters after the first year of operation. Subsequent venting of the sump reduced the odor, but did not eliminate the fundamental condition.’<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Camp_Century" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Camp_Century</a>

Nuclear engineer&#x2F;amateur reactor historian here. Camp Century found here was famously powered by a small Army nuclear reactor called PM-2A. There&#x27;s a really great documentary about it from the 1960s here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=28NYczAuXl4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=28NYczAuXl4</a>

This is featured prominently in the great movie <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Greenland_(film)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Greenland_(film)</a> with Morena Baccarin, though they filmed the entrance in Iceland, not near Thule. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.app.goo.gl&#x2F;vxknuDCxRSGtJ4j88" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maps.app.goo.gl&#x2F;vxknuDCxRSGtJ4j88</a>

total clickbait title, to the best of my knowledge ZERO actual missiles were ever based at camp century, and the whole rest of the ridiculous concept of using the greenland ice cap to base missiles was obsoleted in the 1960s by rapid advances in land based and submarine ICBMs.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Camp_Century" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Camp_Century</a>

&gt;U.S. government [...] will &quot;work with the Danish government and the Greenland authorities to settle questions of mutual security&quot;<p>In the end they did no such thing.

Well it&#x27;s good to know that once they abandoned the project, they cleared the site and left it how it was before they turned up. Oh wait, no, actually they left it with all the waste still there, under the assumption that it would be entombed &#x27;forever&#x27; by the perpetual snowfall. Who would have thought it.
