The Nuclear City Lost Under Ice | Camp Century

Camp Century in Greenland was a Cold War-era U.S. military base built under the ice. While its primary goal was military, it became a significant site for climate research, providing the first long ice core that revealed Earth's climate history. The base faced numerous challenges due to ice pressure and heat from a nuclear reactor. Although abandoned in 1967, its legacy continues as climate change threatens to expose hazardous waste left behind. The site underscores the importance of understanding and mitigating human impact on the environment.
