See photos of Camp Century, a secret US military base built beneath Greenland's ice sheet

The US has had a military presence in Greenland since World War II.

But an abandoned underground military site poses a major environmental threat as the planet warms.

Researchers found thousands of gallons of waste buried under the ice sheet could resurface by 2100.
The US has long sought Greenland, whether access or control, because of its strategic and economic importance, dating back as early as the late 19th century.

President Donald Trump doubled down on his long-standing ambitions to acquire Greenland in January, saying he won't rule out military force or economic coercion to secure the territory of a NATO ally.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
