🏔️ THULE AIR BASE:
Built in 1951-52 under Operation Blue Jay - the largest Arctic construction project in history. 12,000 workers in -40°F built the Pentagon's northernmost base. Only 1,800 miles from Moscow. B-52 bombers sat on 24-hour nuclear alert during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

🧊 CAMP CENTURY:
In 1960, the US Army built an entire city UNDER the Greenland ice sheet - 28 feet beneath the surface. Nuclear powered by the PM-2A reactor (first nuclear plant in Arctic). Officially a "research station." Actually: proof of concept for Project Iceworm.

☢️ PROJECT ICEWORM (DECLASSIFIED):
The camp's SECRET purpose: test feasibility of installing 600 Minuteman nuclear missiles in 2,500 miles of ice tunnels. Missiles would move by rail, impossible for Soviets to target. Denmark - who owned Greenland - was NEVER TOLD about plans to put 600 nuclear warheads on their territory.

💀 1968 BROKEN ARROW:
January 21, 1968: B-52 carrying 4 hydrogen bombs crashed near Thule. Conventional explosives detonated, scattering plutonium. Three bombs recovered from ice. ONE BOMB - "Secondary 4" - fell through cracked ice into Baffin Bay. Despite months of searching, it was NEVER FOUND. It's still there.

🌡️ CLIMATE CHANGE REVELATIONS:
Camp Century was abandoned in 1967, buried under ice. But ice is melting faster than predicted. Nuclear waste, biological contamination, and diesel fuel from the abandoned base are now rising toward the surface - an environmental time bomb.

🎯 MODERN IMPLICATIONS:
Thule Air Base STILL ACTIVE (now Space Force missile warning)
Russia rebuilding Arctic military presence
China pursuing "Polar Silk Road" through Arctic
Trump's 2019 offer to buy Greenland shows unchanged strategic value
Climate change opening new shipping routes = new Cold War
