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.
