In his initial weeks in office, President Donald Trump has ignited discussions about the U.S. acquiring Greenland while hinting at military options — despite officials asserting that the territory is not for sale.
The President argues that securing Greenland is crucial for national security, yet he seems unaware of its significant strategic capabilities.
Dating back over 60 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initiated a notable endeavor in Greenland: Camp Century.
This military installation included two miles of tunnels and was partially exposed to public scrutiny; journalists had access to visit. At this camp, it was promoted as a nuclear power station according to reports by National Geographic.
However, what remained obscured from most was that Camp Century also played a pivotal role in Project Iceworm—a sophisticated network designed to house and transport approximately 600 nuclear missiles capable of reaching targets across Soviet territories via routes over the North Pole.
The Origins and Fate of Camp Century
Erected in 1959 and operational until 1966, Camp Century offered extreme isolation for its inhabitants who were located 127 miles away from any form of civilization as noted by National Geographic.
Accessing this remote base required traversing via sleds under challenging weather conditions—heavy snowfall or freezing gales frequently creating obstacles. Yet according to Austin Kovacs, an engineer involved in research there, danger wasn’t perceived significantly:
“People thought it was dangerous,” he explained. “But it wasn’t hazardous; rather comfortable — albeit at times monotonous.”
The facility boasted more than just research setups—it encompassed amenities such as a library, theater, and medical center as reported by NPR.
“We had every conceivable comfort—lights and heating,” recounted John Fresh who served at Camp Century. “Yet stepping outside felt like entering a freezer.”
Patterns surrounding Project Iceworm remained largely unknown until 1968 when an incident involving a jet carrying nuclear weaponry prompted inquiries into American activities in Greenland—a study unveiled Danish government consent concerning Project Iceworm’s covert operations according to NPR sources.
Despite efforts towards secrecy regarding their operations within ice-covered terrain including construction plans for missile bases alongside steel railways—the planners underestimated geological movements affecting glaciers leading missile systems prone to malfunctioning while operational reactor safety hung precariously dependent upon shifting ice layers per findings by National Geographic.
