Mysterious Subterranean Secret U.S. Military Base

The design, purpose and construction of this research base Camp Century which was built below ice sheet of Greenland in 1959 about the size of a small city.

[@mercherolvaag4717]

I knew a retired General Electric Electrical Engineer who had worked for NASA, and was contracted as a civilian engineer by the United States Navy to spend 6 months at a base in Greenland (most likely the same one in this documentary), and loved it. He said that it was very comfortable, and they even had their own bowling alley, etc. He said that the pay was extremely good too because Greenland was considered an "unpleasant" assignment. He said that he liked it much better than working for NASA in Florida. He said that Florida was "uptight and snobby"... His stay in Greenland was far more pleasant socially, and in every other way. Unfortunately, I can't ask him more about it. He passed away several years ago. He was a very nice gentleman, and a wonderful conversationalist. I miss talking to him.

[@jessjulian9458]

In 1963 I had just completed training as a supply and parts specialist in the army corps of engineers in Washington DC. My Commander called me to his office and told me he had just received my orders for my first assignment. It was to a place called 20th century under the ice. However a week later my orders were changed. Instead I went to Fort Benning Georgia to train with the 11th air assault division. 18 months later I had completed training as a Paratrooper and Ranger. In 1965, I found myself in a place called Saigon South Vietnam. 14 months later I was in the 82nd Airborne division where I ended my Military life in the mid to late 60's. I was one of the lucky ones who came through it all with a wound to my right leg. And that was not very serious. I am an old man now 78 YRS old. With nothing but great memories. I pray for all those young men and women who were not as lucky as I was. May God bless and hold them close in heaven. Our freedom is and was very expensive in blood and young lives. Please don't forget about it when we elect our leaders. We must keep America safe and strong for them and our children. God bless you all.

This may not be the same base that I know of. I was active duty Marine . A radio intelligence specialist. I met several men who were stationed at Greenland. A radio signal is a beacon and reveals its' source. So people worked there for radio intelligence. But, its' main reason was to have ICBMs as close as possible to the USSR. It was considered an undesirable duty station.

[@NoSoup4U2]

Ever heard of the USA"s black budget projects? Look into "D.U.M.B.'s" Deep Underground Military Bases that are all over the US & Canada now too. They are ALL interlinked together, and a man named Phil Schneider, who helped build a couple in Nevada, tried to warn us about them, and why they were being made. Unfortunately, his attempts to warn us, caused him his life. He was found dead in his home, just weeks before telling his family, he believed his life was in grave danger. He was found "suicided" {strangulated, including a bullet to the back of the head} Military coroner listed his death as a suicide. YEAH RIGHT!! But seriously Tim, read up on him and those DUMB's and you'll find you've fallen into the preverbal rabbits hole once you do! But, as always, that's just my opinion! :)))

In 2016, a group of scientists evaluated the environmental impact and estimated that due to changing weather patterns over the next few decades, melt water could release the nuclear waste, 20,000 liters of chemical waste and 24 million liters of untreated sewage into the environment. However, so far neither US or Denmark has taken responsibility for the clean-up. (Wikipedia).

Camp century was built as a secret military base but, promoted in this film as purely a research facility. It was originally conceived as a launch complex for nuclear missiles, but they were never deployed there for two reasons. , the Danish government who owns Greenland refused the US government to place them in their territory. And 2. The US government discovered, after they had built it, that it was not suitable for the deployment of nuclear missiles. Something that they should have checked before construction started. The base was built in 1959, and closed in 1967. The information regarding it's intended use was de classified in 1996. The nuclear reactor was removed shortly after its closure and all of the tunnels have collapsed. The base can no longer be reached. So, there is no mysterious underground secret military bunker on Greenland.

Many of the foreigner workers there have a bad name to them for destroying land and the local population. One of my friends told me an older lady spit him right in the face walking on the street. It was because she remember the time before they came. That was - I believe, in the early 90s -95 Much hasn't changed since then i heard. Its very isolated

I remember when my dad left Fort Eustis to go there in the early 1960's. Yes, I was an Army brat. The coldest place I've been to so far is Fort Drum, NY. My unit went there for winter training in 1980. The day we arrived it was -40°F. The day we left it was 40°F. Had guard duty one night and the temperature was -25°. I was the driver and posted guards every hour. Just glad it wasn't windy that night.

If someone thinks Danish Government doesn't know about this project during the construction, I think no one can be a laymen than him r her.😂😄

[@matthewbaxter9005]

They still said no when Trump wanted to buy Greenland.

[@trombone113]

And there it is. We can't get through ANY video or chat without some freakin' liberal mentioning Trump. Get him outta your little brainwashed head !!!

[@phillipkalaveras1725]

And had they built just one test room under the ice and left it for a year they would have found out it is not going to work before sinking all that money into Camp Century.

If we could figure out a way to properly dispose of nuclear waste, nuclear energy would be the most efficient and clean way to power our world.

[@EricFapton]

The us military incorporates the depletes uranium into combat vehicles. Recycling?

Salute. Respect to those Pioneers.

All that asbestos insulation being put around those pipe. I know those guys prolly suffered later on in there lives.

[@josephmardesich5558]

This makes you grateful for the little things.

[@33iknow]

They loaded it by hand????? Dafack!!! I would NOT have signed up for that duty...

[@ramairgto72]

Troll Masters In the Army we used to buck the movie BS and remind each other "HEY, I SIGNED UP FOR THIS SHI!".

[@33iknow]

ramairgto72 I've work with hazardous materials in the past and I draw a line at nuclear stuff... No thanks. I guess some one has to do it so Thanks for your service!

[@alanbrown397]

Perfectly safe if there's that much water around the stuff.

[@wesmink777]

All those working on the reactor wore dose meters. If your meter reached a certain level you were given a different job. The crew handling the loading was housed seperate from the rest of us but we did talk to them and I remember no complaints.

[@cruss4612]

Youre right. You wouldn't have signed up for it. You just kinda get told. You sign up for chef, uncle Sam says hand loading

[@Carfeu]

This is fascinating

[@lukepeita7026]

Our guy from New Zealand still had the upper hand 6 year's before that complex was built he stood on top of Everest I know who's shoes I'd rather be in 🤔

this is awesome I can picture Howard Hughes watching this along with Ice Station zebra repeatedly in his penthouse sweet you've got to love it the nuclear plant is up let's plug in the electric razor now

[@jomi9858]

Just listening at that "ancient" voice i could assume that this was realized several decades ago, so this narrator must to be in his late 150's if he's still alive, my question if so, Sr. Would you be so kind as to update the nature of such places?

[@TheCommissarIsDead]

I think if I remember correctly this base closed down shortly after being built because all the ice and snow around it was melting and moving the buildings around non stop,or that’s a different base. I know they did a few of these

[@onetruekeeper]

With the coming ice age we will all have to live like this...lol.

[@ryancross8136]

They have a dispensary 🥰🥰🥰

Isn't this where Charlie Sheen has been hiding out?

Or Epstein. Because we all know Epstein didn't kill himself. 🤣

[@LouisWaweru]

Unfortunately our on-site portable reactors never worked out. Unlike the Navy’s reactors, they all leaked and made the sites, pipes, and other materials radioactive, Camp Century included. New designs in many small modular reactors are promising portable, self-contained nuclear reactors. But these early reactors contaminated sites and soldiers from Greenland to Antarctica.

[@BigBabyK337]

This is in green land an the army Corp of engineers built it. Back during ww2

[@hawgryder13]

It was built during the Cold War in 1959, not during WW2. We didn't have time during the war to build something like this (not to mention the technology). There were no nuclear reactors during WW2.

[@markdavid4897]

Safety gear for that era meant white, standard issue T shirts. Non filter cigarettes and bourbon for extra protection

I feel like the Military branches were feuding one day like: Marines: who wants to build a snowfort?! Army: we got this. Navy: we already on the way!! Air force: we down for sure. Coast guard: no response.
