    camp century

    Camp Century was an Arctic United States Military scientific research base in Greenland.[1] It is situated 240 km east from Thule Air Base. It was part of Project Iceworm to install sites for launching nuclear missiles in Greenland. Powered by a nuclear reactor, the camp operated from 1959 until 1967. The base consisted of 21 tunnels with a complete length of 3000 m.

    a friend of mine was stationed there in the early 60s. i had never heard of it.

    Cool doc. IIRC we are looking at reactivating Greenland bases of late.
