Cold War Secret: Inside the Hidden Nuclear City Under Greenland's Ice

In 1959, the US Army carved a secret city into Greenland's ice, complete with a working nuclear reactor, miles of tunnels, a hospital, even a movie theater. To the world it was just a little science station. It wasn't. Camp Century was cover for Project Iceworm, a plan to hide 600 nuclear missiles inside the glacier and slide them around on rails so the Soviets could never find them. Here's how they built it, why the ice slowly crushed it, and what got left frozen down there when the Army walked out in 1967. There's a turn the Cold War planners never saw coming. The ice they trusted to hide everything forever is melting, and the diesel, chemicals, and radioactive coolant they abandoned could start working back toward the surface this century. Whose mess it is now is an argument nobody's in a hurry to start.
