It appears to have been discovered in 2019 with the melting of the ice. This base called Camp Century was built in the 1950s and was abandoned in 1966.
Nope. It was publicly known since at least 1996 when the documents on it were declassified: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Century
By 2016 scientists were already studying it to determine if it was an environmental hazard.
2016 seems more like when I remember seeing something about it.
That'd make sense. You probably heard of it because of the environmental impact research.
Yeah, I remember seeing a video about them excavating it.
It appears that this military base was supplied by the world's first mobile nuclear reactor, with the aim of eventually serving as a launching base for nuclear missiles against the Soviet Union in the event of war.
I think I remember that. It was several years ago, right?
