| Summary: | From the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series, 1950-1975. "The story of a research and development project undertaken by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in Greenland. This city under the ice cap referred to as Camp Century, is a new concept of polar construction. It is today's Modern Army in action on a new frontier of solid ice and snow. During this 30-minute presentation, you will see how snowy wastelands are developed into a completely built city equipped with every convenience from a nuclear power plant to a shower. Camp Century is an important element in the Army's continuing polar research program."--National Archives and Records Administration. |
