During the height of the Cold War, the United States built one of its most secretive military projects beneath the ice of Greenland: Camp Century. Officially presented as a science station, this sprawling city under the ice was part of a much more audacious and dangerous mission: Project Iceworm, a covert plan to deploy nuclear missiles within striking distance of the Soviet Union. This documentary uncovers how 200 soldiers lived and worked beneath the Arctic surface, powered by a nuclear reactor, in tunnels stretching miles below the snow. With first-hand accounts, declassified footage, and expert insights, we reveal how Camp Century symbolised the extreme lengths world powers would go in pursuit of military dominance. What began as an ambitious Arctic experiment would eventually become a ticking environmental time bomb, with its nuclear legacy now threatened by melting ice due to climate change. More than just a Cold War relic, this hidden city beneath the ice raises haunting questions about future conflicts, military secrecy, and how geopolitical tensions could again push us toward global confrontation.
