Award-winning director R.J. Cutler plans to direct a documentary on Camp Century, a secret U.S. military installation built in Greenland.

Project Iceworm Camp Century operated continuously between 1960 and 1964, and then during summers only until its closure in 1967. The station’s public mission was scientific research.

Camp Century's largest trench, known as "Main Street," was about 26 feet wide and stretched over 1,000 feet. ... eventually canceling Project Iceworm just three years after Camp Century was built.

But hardly anyone knew the truth: Camp Century was also developing Project Iceworm, a network of complex tunnels and railway tracks that could house and transport some 600 nuclear missiles.

"Using the model at Camp Century, Project Iceworm planned to build an additional 52,000 square miles of tunnels — three times the size of Denmark — with the possibility of extending it to ...

But the true purpose of the military base remained a tightly held secret for decades. Camp Century served as a cover for Project Iceworm – a covert plan to house a network of nuclear missiles in ...
