A City Under the Ice - Project Iceworm

Stumbled across this army video of the construction of a nuclear powered secret under-ice facility in Greenland.

It's declassified and the video is in public domain.

The video reports of the construction of the side by the army corps of engineers.
I did find it very interesting, this is way back in 1959, imagine what they are doing now.

There is recent discussion about underwater basis on this forum. This could have been the first step.

Reminds me of the Dulce story, there has certainly been enough time and enough resources available.

I think it is reasonable to assume that many such facilities exist.

Actually they had to abandon this concept, as ice is not a solid, and constantly in motion, therefore not suitable for base construction. Over the course of just a few years some of their ceilings had drooped by 1.5 meters.

The wiki page on Project Iceworm has most of the information.

Ha, yes, can you imagine.

'Where's the portable nuclear reactor?'

'Oh, Jim took a corner too fast and it fell off the back of his bobsleigh, he's busy digging it out now.'

That would be great for my disco party, never ending technotronic sound vibrating the ice castle of my conscience

I have heard something of this. It would not surprise me if there were more underground bases globally that we don't have an inkling about. Makes sense really with the Cold War years and now with the world being so unstable it is sadly a matter of when not if a nuke is set off by terrorists or a regional or global nuclear war.
