Project Iceworm: Pentagon's attempt to build top secret missile bases under Greenland's ice

Greenland, which is making headlines due to Donald Trump's interest, was once already used by the US during its confrontation with the Soviet Union. In the 1950s, the Pentagon planned to construct a system of 4,000-long tunnels to deploy about 600 intercontinental ballistic missiles - dubbed Project Iceworm.

In 1959, Camp Century research base was established in the northwest of the island. Twenty-one tunnels, with a total length of 3,000 meters, were excavated. A mobile nuclear reactor supplied energy to facilities such as a store, a church, and other social amenities built beneath the ice. Around 200 people either lived there or were involved in its construction.

The main advantage of Project Iceworm was that mobile launchers could traverse the tunnels under the ice and position themselves to launch missiles targeting the Soviet Union.

However, the project failed due to security concerns: shifting icecaps made habitation impossible. Subsequently, Camp Century was abandoned and the remains of the facility were buried by the icecaps and ultimately crushed by them.
