On October 19, local time, Al Jazeera reported that more than 200,000 fuel drums in more than 50 abandoned US military bases in Greenland rusted and exposed the wilderness.
These bases were built during the Cold War and included a nuclear base.
After the nuclear base was dismantled, a large amount of nuclear waste and other industrial waste were buried under the ice sheet.
For this reason, experts monitor the surrounding ice layer in real time to avoid the leakage of radioactive materials and pollute the environment. Denmark has invested 29 million US dollars to clean up an abandoned base in an attempt to transform it into a tourist attraction.
