In 1959, the U.S. Army built the first tunnel settlement beneath the ice of Greenland. 21 tubes were constructed with isolated housing for more than 200 soldiers. The documentary investigates this extraordinary U.S. Army plan, while looking at the consequences of the city’s tons of nuclear waste that were left behind and are now slowly emerging from the melting ice.

"We produce missiles like sausages"
"But we have no missiles"
"That's alright, we have no sausages either".
Their grocery stores at the time were atrocious.
What an amazing documentary! The quality and content for a TH-cam video is just outstanding!

My father was there at Camp Century in 1963 or 64. He was a designer of the hovercraft and there representing Canada's National Research Council. We have photos of the beautiful ice chapel and the abandoned containers of nuclear waste, clearly marked.
The Americans built "Camp Century" on Danish soil, WITHOUT permission from the Danish government. What does that say about the Americans???
How could i have missed this channel for so long? So many videos covering topics i find interesting, and its real documentaries!
And a real person narrating! AI narrator's are super annoying..
Goes to show how borked TH-cam's vaunted algorithm actually is.
@@craigdawson1749 Oh yeah, that's another huge plus for this channel!
I hate that robotic AI-voice so many other channels uses!

The first time I recall hearing "Greenland" was circa 1962 when my dad returned from a TDY of 3 months. That's where he said he had been when we asked. We were on Fort Eustis, VA, at the time. I also still recall the stillness in the air during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I've only had that feeling once as an adult and it was when I was on active duty.
May become more often if we carry on as we “currently “ are!
Ironically, we created the Cuban Missile Crisis by placing nuclear missiles in Turkey; which the Russians discovered and acted in kind!
@@jamesjohnmoss8130
We certainly will if the Russians get closer.
I suspect that Putin wants Berlin back.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was not averted.
There was an attempted launch.
Atlanteans shut it down.

One of the best documentaries ever, thanks for alerting us to this

I wonder where it is right now and how deep under the ice it is. It would be so cool if they could dig it up. Like a time capsule

Unfortunately it would appear that it will indeed be making a reappearance, with devastating effect upon the local area and beyond.
@@MikeD-hn9hf I thought it is really really deep under the ice
@@brianredban9393 it is but it will probably make an appearance in the next 50 odd years and nuclear waste remains active for... Ever.
Worked as a Ranger in Madikwe, kapama and welgevonden. My love for rhinos is huge. Thank you for posting that!!!!!!!
I have been to Thule Greenland 2 times. Camp Tuto was the base camp for Camp Century.
Every I hear the name of the air force base, Thule, I think of am old SNL sketch. Bill Murray plays a hapless lounge singer in a Thule Air Force bar. He is performing in front of only a few people.

My dad helped build that in his time in the service. RIP Dad you will be missed
I'm sorry about your Dad. May he rest in peace
I doubt both those statements
@tk is this what your life has turned to
Mine was there also.
He.was indeed a soldier!
History defines solutions for tomorrow. Its exciting to know this part of history.
Unfortunately I don’t think much of anything will happen. I’m with a group #SaveOurBayMA, trying to stop a corporation from dumping nuclear waste water into Cape Cod Bay. We can’t even get our EPA to stop the company from dumping. They say they can impose a fine, after the fact… that’s basically it! When big money is involved nothing happens, And it sucks.
Thank you for all you're doing. Eastham resident here. ❤

Are you referring to releases from the decommissioned Pilgrim power plant? There isn't enough radiation in those releases to have any effect whatsoever.
It's just coolant water that has picked up a little more tritium than usual. The NRC makes sure that it is diluted with enough seawater so it really is perfectly safe.
Yes, the Pilgrim power plant. It should not be an option. Who is providing those numbers? Regardless, it shouldn't be allowed. The agreed to removing the coolant and disposing of it properly. HolTech understands the cost of removing it properly, they are doing the same thing in NY at Indian Point. The EPA has a long history of reacting after damage is already done, never preventing before it starts. @@nycrdeary
Those guys literally built the biggest snow fort in the world
My dad was stationed there and helped build it. I remember telling me about it as a kid. Really cool.
is it though?
@@serz1885 yes it is.
@@shawnsdrumcave so pollute entire island achieve nothing and run away that sounds cool to you? USa is the biggest threat to a world
Yeah! Really cool about -40f.

Amazing documentary. Incredible the amount of color photos and footage there are of this
Thanks for thus interesting and informative documentary.
Ty for this documentary!
Well I won’t be alive in 70 years, 67 now, only future generations will know the outcome of that closed camp.
USA leaves a mess wherever it goes....
DISGUSTING.
Your comment makes me sad.
Maybe it's your awareness or a growing illness but almost every death is far more tragic then people realize. Or perhaps try not to face.
With every death humanity is diminished. All your knowledge, your memories, your stories and experiences are lost forever.
Sure they say you pass things down through teaching or your children but that's just facts you can find on wiki. Im talking about thinking. No one will ever think exactly like you because no one had your exact life experiences.
It's no coincidence that when Rome fell and the last of their engineers and architects died, the great buildings and techniques were lost, despite all their buildings surviving CENTURIES..even with all our forensic study of their remnants it's difficult to know exactly HOW they did what they did.
I hope you live to a ripe 120. Keep me posted on your journey 😍

There was no ice chapel at CAMP CENTURY, AT LEAST not in 1963. I was there for 5 months.
Fantastic documentary 👏. Thank you 👋🇨🇦.
9:29 - I will admit I'm quite, impressed with the quality of this footage after 60 some odd, years. Looks more like it was filmed only a few months ago.
Film quality is literally much better than video 4k hd is just catching up now
Take a basic photography class online or through your local community college and the footage wouldn’t be that impressive. Think of it this way TV was clearer in the 1960’s than the 1980’s despite or because of technological advances because film was used until video made it cost prohibitive.
Maybe it was...
The footage has been digitally retouched and saturated. A lot of 60s docs and movies have recently been restored with improved processing power and better software.
Absolutely amazing video!!!
Beats any snow fort I ever built
I had some big ass snow forts that went underground well under the snow and went form my house to my friends house if my mom ever knew she would have killed us lol
@@charlestorruella8591 I grew up in Virginia, spent one winter and a bunch of summers in Maine. Yours sounds like a Maine snow fort
They said there was only 100 people and I've read about 300 comments that they're dad was there building it... someone's dad was very busy 😅
😂😂😂😂
I missed to ask my dad when he was still alive if he helped to construct it,,,, we aren't Americans though 😂😂
You're confusing the difference between the several thousands involved in the construction and supporting transportation infrastructure and the about a hundred who actually overwintered at Camp Century each of the three or four active years of its actual operation!

Nice video, very informative, I love seeing the difference between them and now
a very informative documentary

Awesome video. You always make me think. I like that!
thanks.... interesting and well done !!!
America did it America should be responsible for its clean up.
They did it, yes, but for everyone in the West.
Every NATO pact country is responsible for its cleanup.
Get bent helmet
Great documentary,
Of course Nikita's son lives in the US. Proud Russian Patriot
USA is Russian..Terrority
Russia Won Ww3.
That base would be an excellent template for a facility to survive a major disaster, especially if you could include some hydroponics for food, fertilised with organic waste
no the coldness would be too much it needs to be in the ground not in frozen water
Raise livestock instead
Its interesting because the military has rapidly increased training on underground warfare. I think they suspect troops above ground will not make it far when $200 drones are hovering around with artillery shells attached.
What a frozen nightmare I was 44 when I seen snow for the first time it was nice for about a day then I realised this horrible well for me anyway back to Asia Pacific region for me were its 30 degrees Celsius everyday.
Very interesting documentary, I would have volunteered to be part of something so amazing as Camp Century.
What an Amazing Channel Bro Ur Channel Deserve 10M Subscribers What Amazing Channel With Awesome Information ♥️😘
Fascinating stuff...I wasn't born til 72 but I remember the fear we had of the Russians as kids - immanent doom at any moment...craziness.
Nasty filthy Russians!!
Не нужно боятся русских, нужно бояться сумашедших.
We feared immine t doom whether started by
USSR OR USA!!!!
Okay... is this story where George Lucas got the idea for The Empire Strikes Back Hoth Rebel Base? Was this ever an article in Time and or Life magazine?
My mother, who was born I 1935 from Russian parentage, never lost her fear of the Russians coming...
Quality video right here
What a transcendent documentary this is!. Thanks to this invaluable, educational, & informative doc.unfolded by Get.factual, I've gained new insight into the Camp Century in the Greenland built in the late 1950s & 1960s. How could that country be so irresponsible for what they had done to the people living in the vicinity of the Camp as well as to all the living creatures in the sea? ( Horrific ecosystem catastrophe it would affect in the future w/ absolute certainty! ). If it were not for Get.Factual, I'd not get to know this horrendous fact. It'd be disastrous to all living beings inclusive of humans.,,,,,,Many thanks to all concerned for this priceless documentary,,,,,,(06/06/23)
America does horrible things to its citizens historically and it continues in ghettos which are man-made redlining districts known as apartheid. Americans had Guantanamo. And Bush’s bastards Cheney condoned torture. So much is terribly wrong with America the fascist military dictatorship. 😊
Yeah, I watched it by accident but I'm really glad I did that was very interesting
This camp and the videos of it have been all over the internet for ever.
Greenland isn’t a country. They are a territory owned by Denmark.

It was informative and thrilled documentary thank you
A terrible amount of money 💰 wasted on nuclear missiles and land based missile silos whose guidance systems quickly degraded due to radiation exposure. The money spent on Cold War weaponry could have educated everyone to a much higher standard and elevated our living standard to an unprecedented level.
Excellent video
Superb documentary.
APPRECIATE the PHOTOGRAPHY and COMMENTARY!!!
The one that created the waste is obviously responsible for its cleanup.
USA spend on destruction only, they have never ever spend in cleaning or reconstructing what they have destroyed.
At 20:00 and following i expected the reactor to be labeled "Acme Reactor Co. Ship to W.E. Coyote, Dustbowl St. Drytown, USA" ...
There's nothing disturbing about handling new nuclear fuel assemblies.
There is virtually no radiation emitted by new fuel. It's only dangerous after it's been fissioned, and becomes activated.
Seeing these tiny BWR fuel assemblies is interesting. I'd love to have a small reactor like this to power my neighborhood. 😎
A great documentary!!
I would love to read the contracts between Denmark and the US.
this is a dope & very informative documentary 💎💎💯
Excellent.
Stunned.
Another nuclear waste pile is abandoned in Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, an inheritance extremely dangerous to the entire Micronesian islands; Republic of Belau, Guam, Norther Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Kiribati and the Marshall Islands itself.
where?
Fascinating. Excellent video. Now. Let's clean up our mess, eh?
Genusises like the Fukushima engineers who installed the backup generators below sea level ! Great investment !
4:41 - Why does no one ever, mention the deaths of these poor creatures used for these purposes. Why?! Because no one gives one, sweet, frig when it's non-human life. I find that sickening and putrid to the extreme.
I find your virtue signaling putrid and rancid
33:30
The Danish man reading off the Thanksgiving menu was by far the best part of this video now I'm hungry
….😂 The Headline in papers after the U.S. “Sputnik” rocket failure was : “ Kaput-nik!” 😂
Great thanks
Extremely cool documentery😎
I think someone mixed up Greenland and Iceland and didn't want to admit they were wrong...
Amazing clip. Like it
Love this .
15:11 love that barber shop sign. Bet the cafeteria has one just like it about their best (only) chef 😅
How was a missile supposed to be launched without melting the surrounding ice.?
This is a great documentary. The CoId War was definitely a very interesting era.
We had a COD war????
@@tamara_diamonds422 Ha ha. Having a prob with my l key.
🏴🎬🌏 Awesome Documentary thank you
Very very interesting
Waw Wooh Amazing 👏 Fantastic Job 👏 Wooh ThanksAmen 👏 Amen 🙏
If they were trying to hide something why weren't the escape hatches painted white instead of green?
Very interesting I like it
Very interesting 🤔👏👏🇬🇧
It would be a awesome place to explore now and some of these guys that do those things might just try it!!!
I used to sell expanded polystyrene systems panelized buildings built for these arctic conditions with a 4 inch wall a house could b assembled in 4 days. We had a 3 story mansion at Deep Creek Lake in Garrett Co Md. With 6 inch walls .it was 6500 sq ft. Because it was super strong and insulated you heated it for only $200 a YEAR and GARRETT CO is called the icebox of maryland. It gets bitter cold there and u could literally freeze to death there. Its a far superior toanything on the market.
I am sure the rulers have whole cities under ground by now that are lavish.
At least during the Cold War there was some sort of protection. Now it’s just bunkers for them, family, and friends
@@fedupamerican6534 The chosen ones...
Look into the Giant drilling tool the British invented to do for the England to France euro tunnel. Then look what corporations & billionaires did with this technology.
Yabutt... it wont save them in TheEnd = Biblical
@@laurawyant6181 poor reasoning
wow so amazing😮😮😮
Now I want to watch a documentary about how they built the rebel base on Hoth.
**GREAT VIDEO WITH AWESOME CONTENT!**
Consider this, just **how vast could the excavations be with dozens of zero-point aka nuclear-powered TBMs excavating in 24/7 shifts** for..?..**Approaching 80 years now!**
Thanks for thus interesting and informative documentary.. a very informative documentary.
Had no idea Khrushchev's son lives in the US.
That's wild. I wonder what dad would have thought about that? 😅
He died in 2020 though.
yeah, sergei renamed himself to Shaboo Khruschev and became a breakdancer.....
Poor little Laika.. The dog never seen it coming = Death by RADIATION...
Nice.
From the 60s to now a 150' to 200' ice and snow covered the site. Now the next 70 years the site is going to be at the end of a glacier dumping into the ocean.
Amazing engineering
The footage of people in camp century the commentary is amazing. This looks like it was recorded recently great actors and why does the commentary has to be so sarcastic. Its hilarious.
The base at Thule was operating in the late 1960s. I wonder if any of our northern DEW-line bases are still up there?(Alaska-Canada-Greenland)
Amazing to think that someone did a dump all those years ago and it's still just sat there.
waauw thnx
Very informative document 🤗
The Kremlin understood what Camp Century meant. Am wary of Sergei Khrushchev. Nikita's son and chief apologist. I've heard him before bragging out of one side of his mouth about Russian space program success and out the other Saying Russia had no real offensive ballistic missile threat at that time. Same technology Sergei.
I was vorn in 1963. I had a dream when I was only four years old that I died and sunk into the ground. Inside the dream I woke up underground with people all around me traveling eastward, underground. Makes me wonder if I went to camp century.
Amy dad was stationed in Tule Greenland served several tours there we actually had to move off base during this time. Lived in Texas
Great "deeper story" compared to PBS...
Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting ...!!!
Thanks !!!
i love seeing what we can do when we work together
I wouldn't say 'the first ever human settlement built under the ice'. More accurate would be 'the first human settlement built under the ice in recorded/known history'. Imo anyways.
I mean, we could say that about anything.
Antarctica ...
Wow.
THATS WHERE THE LIZARD PEOPLE LIVE (UNDERGROUND ICE CAVES)
Lol nicely said...🖖
As a dane.. I am scared of Greenland in a future war. It's location, in a new appearing sea, is just too important.
The dog had no idea
100 feet under the ice that is some scary stuff
