US Army engineers selected Greenland's site in 1959 and then had supplies delivered. Film shows the logistics of delivery to the work camp across the icecap. Camp Century is now an Arctic Research Center. Project Iceworm was the code name for the US Army Top Secret Cold War Nuclear project - to build a network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites under the Greenland ice sheet, a system of tunnels 4,000 km in length, used to deploy up to 600 nuclear missiles, which would be able to reach the USSR in case of nuclear war. .
