"Grandpa, where does True-Whip come from?" six year old Rose asked as she sat in his lap after Thanksgiving dinner. "It comes from the Arctic, up around the North Pole; but it's a secret, you see, buried in the ice." "Oh, Grandpa!" Rose laughed. Even at six she knew what was real and what wasn't. Or so she thought. Now twelve and tired of being watched all the time after her adventures in Russia and Peru, Rose is headed for Alaska, and about to find out that Grandpa's story wasn't as crazy as it sounded. Everything comes full circle as Rose encounters an old nemesis as she stumbles onto a hidden connection between the events on both coasts, a secret buried in the Arctic ice, and a project named True-Whip Incorporated.

At the height of the Cold War, the United States Army secretly began work on a base embedded deep in the Greenland ice cap: Camp Century. Officially defined as a scientific research station, this facility had an undisclosed purpose: to aim up to 600 nuclear warheads, buried in the ice, at the Soviet Union. In 1966, just six years after the camp was established, the United States gave up this provocative strategy and abandoned the base. Despite its brief life, Camp Century has been the cause of controversies from diplomatic relations between the United States and its Arctic allies, Denmark and Greenland, to the risks of radioactive waste abandoned at the site. This book is the first comprehensive account of the U.S. Army’s “city under the ice.” Beginning with the Truman administration’s vision of military superiority in the Arctic and continuing through present-day concerns over the effects of climate change, Kristian H. Nielsen and Henry Nielsen unravel the extraordinary history of this clandestine installation. Drawing on sources including top-secret memos and never-before-seen photographic evidence, they follow the intertwining threads of high-level politics, ice-core research, media representations, daily life beneath the ice, and the specter of long-buried environmental problems that will one day resurface. Camp Century reveals a hidden chapter of Cold War history—and why, as the Greenland ice cap slowly melts, this story is not yet over.

Based on true events, ICE-X86: Freezing the Cold War tells of a top-secret mission: a team of young engineers who face insurmountable oddsice storms, polar bears, military bias, espionage, fear and self-doubtwhile launching torpedoes from the surface of the Arctic ice pack. Will secret torpedo tests help to mitigate the Cold Wars greatest threat, or will a rogue Russian submarine that interrupts the mission spark international retaliation and something even worse? Of all the high level, vital and extremely challenging programs of my military/federal career, the ICE-X project tops the list. I was honored to lead this team of dedicated engineers to successfully overcome the design, logistics and tactical impossibilities of the Arctic environment and prove the U.S.s capabilities against a very serious and real world threat. Actual ICE-X team leader (Alex Trinola in the story). What a terrific adventure! We had no idea the ramifications of these tests until the top-secret mission was over. Len Morini, ICE-X team design engineer, 1986. Only time will tell the full strategic significance of these tests at the top of the worldhow they will influence the course of history. Secretary of the Navy, John F. Lehman Jr., Arctic Circle, 1986. This story brought back memories of the exciting times I had aboard the USS Hawkbillthe 666 Devil Boata worthwhile adventure. Thomas D.

A pioneering researcher’s illuminating account of Arctic ice—its secret history and dire future Barely inhabited, the Arctic is an alien world to most of us. It also holds critical clues about the future of our planet. In The Hidden Life of Ice, Marco Tedesco invites us to Greenland, where he and his fellow scientists are doggedly researching the dramatic changes afoot. Following the arc of his typical day at work, Tedesco unearths the secrets in the ice—from evidence of long-extinct “polar camels” to the fantastically weird microorganisms living at freezing temperatures in cryoconite holes. Tedesco weaves together the bald facts on climate change with poetic reflections on this endangered landscape, the epic deeds of great Arctic explorers, and the legends of the rare local populations. The Hidden Life of Ice is more than a diatribe on climate—it’s a moving tribute to a beautiful place that may be gone too soon.

From the Arctic to the South China Sea, states are vying to secure sovereign rights over vast maritime stretches, undersea continental plates, shifting ice flows, airspace, and the subsoil. Conceiving of sovereign space as volume rather than area, the contributors to Voluminous States explore how such a conception reveals and underscores the three-dimensional nature of modern territorial governance. In case studies ranging from the United States, Europe, and the Himalayas to Hong Kong, Korea, and Bangladesh, the contributors outline how states are using airspace surveillance, maritime patrols, and subterranean monitoring to gain and exercise sovereignty over three-dimensional space. Whether examining how militaries are digging tunnels to create new theaters of operations, the impacts of climate change on borders, or the relation between borders and nonhuman ecologies, they demonstrate that a three-dimensional approach to studying borders is imperative for gaining a fuller understanding of sovereignty.
