Project Iceworm
In the 1960s the Army Corps of Engineers undertook a project to build a secret scientific and military base under the ice in Greenland.The official story was that it was a base camp for scientific research under the name Camp Century, big enough to hold 200 residents.
But there was a Top Secret component that wasn't revealed until later: a planned base for nuclear missiles called "Project Iceworm." A vintage films shows how they built it.
