Discovered Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet: The Secret Military Base of Camp Century

In the frigid depths of Greenland, a forgotten relic of the Cold War has been unearthed. Chad Green, a cryospheric scientist, discovered Camp Century, a defunct military base hidden beneath the ice sheet [1]. Built in 1959, the facility served as both a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility and the home of Project Iceworm, a strategic initiative aimed at storing nuclear missiles targeted at the Soviet Union [2].

The revelation of Camp Century adds to the list of hidden or secret locations with historical, cultural, or controversial significance. Here are ten such locations:

  1. Sanctuary of Dionysos, Mykonos, Greece - An ancient sanctuary dedicated to the god of wine, with intact marble reliefs illustrating ancient wine-making rituals [1].
  2. Kastro Medieval Fortifications, Mykonos, Greece - Venetian defensive walls with original 13th-century stonework and secret passages leading to hidden beaches [1].
  3. Pompeii’s Erotic Art and the Secret Cabinet, Naples, Italy - Archaeological findings of erotic frescoes and artifacts from Pompeii were historically hidden from the public [2].
  4. Rök Rune Stone, Sweden - An encrypted Norse monolith hidden within a church wall for over a thousand years [3].
  5. Agartha, the Mythical Inner Earth Civilization - A legendary subterranean world beneath the Himalayas [4].
  6. Lost Cities Revealed by LiDAR Technology - Ancient cities hidden beneath dense jungles or deserts, unveiled by modern technology [4].
  7. The Oldest Stone House in Paris, Built by an Alchemist - A historically obscure location linked to alchemy, hidden within the urban fabric of Paris [3].
  8. The Hidden Sites of Salem, Massachusetts - Secret tours exploring haunting and lesser-known aspects of Salem’s dark history [5].
  9. Panagia Tourliani Monastery, Mykonos, Greece - A UNESCO-protected monastery with 16th-century Byzantine frescoes [1].
  10. The "Secret Museum" at Naples National Archaeological Museum - A section dedicated to erotic artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum [2].

In other news, a secret museum in McLean, Virginia, showcases a collection of intriguing artifacts, including a miniature camera, an exploding martini glass, and a scale model of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan [6]. The museum's purpose is to educate CIA officials about the Agency's past, both its successes and failures [6].

Elsewhere, a secret house built inside a garage in Enderby, Leicestershire, was deemed unacceptable by the Blaby District Council [7]. The house was ordered to be restored to its original condition, but the unlawful changes remained, leading to legal action [7].

In the realm of scientific research, the UK conducts research concerning chemical weapons and deadly diseases at the Ministry of Defence’s Science and Technology Laboratory in Porton Down, Wiltshire, England [8]. The UK assures that it abides by the Chemical Weapons Convention but maintains small amounts of chemical and biological agents for testing purposes [8].

If climate change accelerates the erosion of Greenland's ice, the potential danger lurking at Camp Century becomes all too real. Nuclear waste, diesel fuel, and other hazardous materials left behind at the site could contaminate the environment [9].
