Camp Century was built underneath the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet in 1959 by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The project was designed to create a network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites in Greenland, almost an entire underground city, with bars, theaters and other buildings.

Camp Century, Greenland was an American Cold War era under-ice base designed for research and development. It hosted the first nuclear reactor used for energy production and part of the Army Nuclear Power Program.



One of the highlights was the use of the R.G. LETOURNEAU Overland Train to bring in supplies.
