About this episode
Taylor discusses the U.S. military's Camp Century and its connection to the secretive Project Iceworm.
Taylor tells Josie about Camp Century, the U.S. military's once-innovative, now-abandoned science base in northwestern Greenland—and how it was merely a cover for Project Iceworm, a top-secret Cold War plan to hide hundreds of nuclear weapons within the Greenland Ice Sheet.
