09:41Camp Century consumed 10,000 gallons of fresh water per day, using hot steam to melt ice and create an underground lake.
13:50Camp Century was part of a larger project called Iceworm, which aimed to build tunnels under the ice for nuclear missiles. However, Iceworm was eventually canceled.
17:11The shifting glaciers and environmental risks caused the collapse of Camp Century, leading to its abandonment in 1966.
18:37Recent research expeditions have found that the tunnels and houses of Camp Century are still buried under years of snowfall.
