NASA discovered a forgotten U.S. military base, Camp Century, buried 100 feet beneath Greenland's ice, part of a Cold War plan to store nuclear missiles—now a ticking time bomb due to climate change 0:52-1:01. The base contains 47,000 gallons of nuclear waste, frozen and now at risk of melting and causing a disaster 2:05-2:13.
Key Takeaways:
• Camp Century, built in 1959, included 21 underground tunnels and a nuclear-powered city, but failed due to ice movement and was abandoned by 1967 2:22-2:42.
• The base was part of Project Iceworm, a secret plan to hide 600 nuclear missiles in 52,000 miles of tunnels beneath the ice 0:52-1:01.
• With climate change, the nuclear waste and unstable ice pose a growing environmental and safety risk 2:05-2:13.
The discovery highlights a dangerous Cold War legacy now resurfacing due to warming temperatures, raising urgent questions about nuclear safety and environmental responsibility.
