The international relations equivalent of hiding a handgun in your friend's glovebox and next telling them.

The tunnels instantly reminded me of the base on Hoth xD

Johnny has a secret facility not much unlike this where he stores all of his puns!

Given the volumes of completely insane projects floating around during the Cold War it’s a miracle we didn’t wipe ourselves out.

Flashbacks seeing the dog run across the glacier.

My goodness. It's Echo Base on Hoth. All we are missing are the Tauntauns.

My father was in the 588th CEB and worked on Ice Worm.

Camp Century also had a problem getting rid of human waste far enough away, so some of the tunnels *stank*.
That must have been awful.

I remember this. Heard there's also a nearby crash site for some P-38 Lightnings and B-17 Flying Fortresses, a few of which ended up restored after rediscovery.

Meantime, this could make for an interesting setting for a plotline not unlike a fusion of The Thing (especially since the facility footage reminds of some scenes from the John Carpenter remake) and Aliens.

When you mentioned drilling, i couldn't help thinking of 'The Thing' and wondered 'uh-oh!'

[ask]

As a den this is interesting to see keep up with your great work

[aaronjohn]

Yeowza, good luck with that clean up.

Another fine video from Johnny as he continues to dig through some hidden CIA vault buried two hundred feet below the Mojave. I'm grateful he has time for these in between decoding numbers stations.

[wingssamebird]

I really appreciate these videos. Always keep coming back for them.

When your boss tells you to chill out.

[Jay-lnco]

Man, we missed a timeline where we'd have propaganda posters of the Greenland bases with missiles flying from them and reading "The Iceman Cometh!"

[vsvnrg]

verrry interesting. you could do a part 2 about this.

[PitFriend]

They CLAIM it was abandoned due to glacier movement. We all know it was because while digging they found The Thing from Another World.

Ice Worm was a cool refreshment after Dune's Sand Worm
