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.
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.
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.

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).
That is not even counting the island where we stored most of the nuclear waste used to make nuclear weapons ocean tests, it is much more than that, and the metal we used to protect it is supposed to be replaced every 50 years due to salt water corrosion. Not a peep.

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.
Why is he not telling about how they treated the local people, how they throw them away to places no one have been before, they gave them from a few hours to a day to move, many of their things were left behind, generations have lived their in quite peace, and now the big military from USA was claimeing there land, I'm pretty sure it was through my own fuck up land Denmark, "there is something rotten in Denmark" ones was saying a long time ago! My brother had his own military time in camp grønnedal on greenland, the things he said about how they don't care about greenland in the military was disturbing, how they was dumping equipment in the beautiful clear wather, it could be a jeep or something smaller, they just don't care about the land. What I'm saying is get the hell out of other people land, it's not just the US I'm talking about, it is also Denmark and other countries who think there fuck up military shall be in others land... The government in all country are infected by mental sick people..
@@johnwalker6596 I had to go back and figure out what I was talking about. Those kind of things always seem cramped because they are made just big enough. When you are going to that much effort for each square foot, you really don't want more square feet than you really need.
@@johnwalker6596 Were you drafted? I was in high school in 84/85. I got a call from the Air Force recruiter in 88 when I was about to finish HS and he asked if I wanted to join. I said I did, but they didn't want me. The guy was not deterred. He probably didn't get many eager blind calls like that, and he seemed really excited to meet me. He tried twice to set up an appointment with me before he asked why the Air Force wouldn't want me. When I explained that I had a fake leg he seemed so let down when he asked if I had any friends who might want to join the Air Force. I actually had a chance to join my HS ROTC unit, we were an Air Force town and the Lt Base Commander of the Air Force base near by (Travis) was a family friend. He got an exception for me to join the ROTC but I stupidly turned it down. I found out later that friend had gotten my exception from General Charles A. Gabriel himself. No idea how he pulled it off, but I felt even worse when I found that out. Stupid kid.
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
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.
Hard to believe they were able to do this at that time or even today. Not sure how prone to it that location would be but wouldn't want to be there during an earthquake. What's with the red equipment with a yellow star on it?
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?
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!
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.
Camp Century was abandoned, but the glacier it's built on has moved and there's a very real risk that it will be exposed to the elements within 20-30 years. Interestingly, it's NOT the abandoned nuclear reactor that people are worried about, it's the chemical contaminants, including tons of Polycarbonated Biphenols used in the electrical and other systems.
Our military members are the best in the world. This was a wonderful documentary to view. So much sacrifice by our uniform personnel went into this camp construction project. Very impressive and eye opening to see. Under the harshest of working and living conditions the project was a complete success.
I have several colleagues who outsource themself to Greenland a couple of months a year. You earn a ton of money due to the harsh conditions. But not only is the weather conditions, and mother nature dangerouse, you will also be looked down upon from the local innuits. 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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

And "Muk-luk" (puppy)was so adorable 🐕,it appeared to be very fun for him!
Thank you for sharing, great stuff... 😉
Uranium 235. Wow. Did the men who handled it die from cancer? I didn't see any lead shielding anywhere, in those delivery barrels. 🤔🤔🤔🤫🤫🤫
Uranium... haven't been in reactor yet ... not plutonium ... even an amateur like me know its not that bad ;)
@@joseph-mariopelerin7028 it's still radioactive. By how much I don't know. Maybe a Geiger counter would help. Even granite counter tops give off radiation. 😵😵😵😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠
@@ArmandoDy last time i checked, there was no granite in the snow and ice of greenland...that's somehow part of the whole point...;)
Your skin is shield enough from uranium 235, no harm unless you have cuts on your hand or somehow ingest it.
@@byoj3397 I wonder if these same types of reactors are still in use today? Or is the reactor in the documentary still active?
To call it 'the size of a small city' is an overstatement. The biggest it got would be 'the size of an average housing neighborhood.'
That's simply not true. The video didn't cover the complete construction. It was enormous.
@@jessjulian9458 No, the crew never exceeded 125. It was a research project not a garrison.
@@dieselscience I know, I had orders to go thare, but were changed at the last minute. However my Commander had knowledge of the place. It was built to house many times that number.
@@jessjulian9458 "thare" ? really? How old are you? 8?
I remember watching that as a kid. Amazing memories really cool documentary they don't make them like they used to great story thanks for sharing
Love how the guy puffing a vape hit off the cigarette holds it in for a sec turns his head to then blow all that smoke into guy sitting across from himself face . And then flicks his ashes onto his plate as he is eating
these were real men, son. we ate the cigarette butts or fed them to MuckLuck
Vape?? They didn’t have vapes then. Only cigs
Awesome ice city just imagine what they can do these days compare to years. Sure wo love to visit this place
then they find a shape shifting alien, and all hell breaks loose!
Or they find an alien buried in ice and cut him loose to study.
The Thing...1951, 1982, 2011!
I loved the hand held uranium rods :) . I'm sure they were encased in some sort of protection but that would still be nerve wracking
For all the commenters who did no further research, the reactor, was pulled out in the middle 60's. Camp Century was not actually occupied after 64.
That's the answer to the only question I had, thanks. Five years? All of that trouble for five years of occupancy.
Trollmaster, You do not understand what it was like back then. You loaded most everything by hand. I can remember when a two-wheeler was not even available. If you did it it was with a winch, or roped it up on the platform.
*Amazing vid. thanks for letting us know!!!*
i WAS ON THE CONSTRUCION CREW. i T WAS AN EXPERIENCE i WILL NEVER FORGET
Right,lol...
lol,how old are you.??
wes mink hello, did u see anything strange ?
You would have to be much older then 50. sorry nice try.
@Gretal Turdberg you must be a Bear!
The quality of the documentary is great being that it's from 1959. 🤔🤔
Better than many documentaries made today.
Ahh, cokes in steel cans that needed an opener. Wish we could go back to those.
@Redrum and
👃🏻👅
Gigantic construction! Military evolution!
Pretty cool, would love to see how the base is holding up in 2020, if it’s even still occupied? Got anything on the basalt ruins/base near the beardmore glacier?
its abandon .... its still there do ...
Ask John Kerry or the Pope. Klaus Schwaub is going there now isn't he?

Anyone have links to .......?
its all over RUclips bruh.... can't, not find it....

Why did Michael Crichton never write a thriller about an ‘incident’ at a camp like this? Although, The Thing comes pretty close…
Absolutely interesting captivating I love it I love engineering like that
All we have is the likes of Engineer(whistle blower) Phil Shnider and the likes, testimonies. Watched a clip of one last night where he talked of the construction of ones from the 90s and submarine bases there and Dumbs in the US.Dulce,S2 and S4.One of the things that struck me were his claims of Biological Warfare labs,to create amongst other things Biological weapons (viruses) that are made to specifically harm and target certain ethnic races for population control.Global 2000 he said it was called. Sound familiar with something going about the World today?.
Yea China was the winner of that bio weapon category tho
@@theelastog1580 With the funding and knowledge of the US bio lab in NY.
The Bunkers everywhere will be used for Elitists now! Remember when THEY called us Conspiracy Theorists when we told THEY the New World Order was REAL? lol
And, of course, they suicided Schneider.
The cold makes steel extremely brittle but we are using to build a nuclear plant wtf
Perhaps it is strengthened with Niobium.
Look it up.
@@Truthbringspeace perhaps it is a super conductor
Depends on the steel. Actually, some steels can be less brittle when cold, such as those used by SpaceX for their Spaceship rockets.
Some great engineering ,did well building the nuclear power plant in them hard arctic conditions,🌍🇵🇰🇬🇧
I enjoyed watching the construction video from my warm kitchen.
I was just being born that year, amazing nuclear reactors were being installed that far back in places like that! I spent over three years in the Arctic and that weather is not your friend!
The crew handling uranium wearing protective clothing.....like short sleeve Tshirt...Strange how many times the guys were in sleeveless, despite the very low temperature..
Kinda scary
Uranium isn’t radioactive and everywhere apparently
May be they are not humans l ike us.
Your body adjusts to cold temperatures but the sun can really heat you up .
It's because of the radiation
Every time i hear about these D.U.M.B.s, Phil Schneider comes to mind.
your life must be so stressful !
@@joseph-mariopelerin7028
LoL. He doesn't cross my mind when i hear just the word 'dumb'. But underground military bases? Yeah, sure. Thank God i don't hear about those stuff often.
the real Ice Station zebra this kicks butt I can just imagine Howard he is locked up in his penthouse suite watching this over and over with his Kleenex boxes for slippers
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.
Or is there?
That's what they want us to think 🤔
great stuff thank you !!
That dog was attached to somone you could tell when the original group left.. a lil sad
*if you go to McDonald's and ask for the two cheeseburger meal with ketchup on the side they will always get it wrong*
Why is he not telling about how they treated the local people, how they throw them away to places no one have been before, they gave them from a few hours to a day to move, many of their things were left behind, generations have lived their in quite peace, and now the big military from USA was claimeing there land, I'm pretty sure it was through my own fuck up land Denmark, "there is something rotten in Denmark" ones was saying a long time ago!
My brother had his own military time in camp grønnedal on greenland, the things he said about how they don't care about greenland in the military was disturbing, how they was dumping equipment in the beautiful clear wather, it could be a jeep or something smaller, they just don't care about the land.
What I'm saying is get the hell out of other people land, it's not just the US I'm talking about, it is also Denmark and other countries who think there fuck up military shall be in others land...
The government in all country are infected by mental sick people..
what is wrong with these hell bent creatures who are not men but look like men ?
3:00 Do you think that they ever learned that the Russians came in and moved all the flags making the base 10% smaller?
@@johnwalker6596 I had to go back and figure out what I was talking about. Those kind of things always seem cramped because they are made just big enough. When you are going to that much effort for each square foot, you really don't want more square feet than you really need.
@@johnwalker6596 Were you drafted? I was in high school in 84/85.
I got a call from the Air Force recruiter in 88 when I was about to finish HS and he asked if I wanted to join. I said I did, but they didn't want me.
The guy was not deterred. He probably didn't get many eager blind calls like that, and he seemed really excited to meet me. He tried twice to set up an appointment with me before he asked why the Air Force wouldn't want me.
When I explained that I had a fake leg he seemed so let down when he asked if I had any friends who might want to join the Air Force.
I actually had a chance to join my HS ROTC unit, we were an Air Force town and the Lt Base Commander of the Air Force base near by (Travis) was a family friend. He got an exception for me to join the ROTC but I stupidly turned it down.
I found out later that friend had gotten my exception from General Charles A. Gabriel himself. No idea how he pulled it off, but I felt even worse when I found that out.
Stupid kid.
Neither mysterious nor secret...
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.
The us military incorporates the depletes uranium into combat vehicles. Recycling?
Notwithstanding disasters.
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
Vincent Price WAS IN TO ALL KINDS OF SHIT
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 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.😂😄
They still said no when Trump wanted to buy Greenland.
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 !!!
Mysterious SECRET bases all over the Internet
Hard to believe they were able to do this at that time or even today. Not sure how prone to it that location would be but wouldn't want to be there during an earthquake. What's with the red equipment with a yellow star on it?
I've been in the Hoover dam and know there's no doubt about military bases...
Isn't this where Charlie Sheen has been hiding out?
Or Epstein. Because we all know Epstein didn't kill himself. 🤣
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?
Love it! Got anything else?
With the coming ice age we will all have to live like this...lol.
Thanks for this 👍
All that asbestos insulation being put around those pipe. I know those guys prolly suffered later on in there lives.
They loaded it by hand????? Dafack!!! I would NOT have signed up for that duty...
Troll Masters In the Army we used to buck the movie BS and remind each other "HEY, I SIGNED UP FOR THIS SHI!".

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!
Perfectly safe if there's that much water around the stuff.
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.
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
Camp Century was abandoned, but the glacier it's built on has moved and there's a very real risk that it will be exposed to the elements within 20-30 years.
Interestingly, it's NOT the abandoned nuclear reactor that people are worried about, it's the chemical contaminants, including tons of Polycarbonated Biphenols used in the electrical and other systems.
Look at the quality of food they served to soldier back then compared to today.
Awesome 👍😊
Amazing!!
Awesome video!!!!
Incredible!
Our military members are the best in the world. This was a wonderful documentary to view. So much sacrifice by our uniform personnel went into this camp construction project. Very impressive and eye opening to see. Under the harshest of working and living conditions the project was a complete success.
Hoorah!
I have several colleagues who outsource themself to Greenland a couple of months a year. You earn a ton of money due to the harsh conditions. But not only is the weather conditions, and mother nature dangerouse, you will also be looked down upon from the local innuits. 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
Great video. My dad was in the Corps of Engineers German 1944
Vell, ve know where you are, little kraus Billy
🖕
This is a gem.
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 makes you grateful for the little things.
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
Salute. Respect to those Pioneers.
WARNING!!! Coo! Thxs.,Merci.
Safety gear for that era meant white, standard issue T shirts. Non filter cigarettes and bourbon for extra protection
Mysterious? No, Terrifying and evil.
Boo!
At 3:30 those 4 wheeled trucks tower are so cool. What are they called?
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.
Spent 4 years at drum/Watertown... Cold.
I clicked on your avatar symbol, it expanded into a: ICBM patch! Now that's a secret & mysterious job site!

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.
And at the very same time, Breakaway civilization had bases on Mars...has, btw.
They brought ice cream? Who the hell would want ice cream in those conditions...
+Nasty McJackass I would...

It's the ultimate snow fort. I wish Minnesota would get more deep snow like back in the day. 1970's.
This is in green land an the army Corp of engineers built it. Back during ww2
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.
