Welcome to Project Iceworm, an interactive experience unraveling the secrets of Camp Century, a real Cold War-era American military base carved out under Greenland’s snowcap.
This immersive 360 experience was made as a co-production between Helios Design Labs, Copenhagen Film Company and journalist Thomas Aue Sobol. Project Iceworm is used in Denmark as part of elementary-level educational curriculum. Above, you can watch a video of a full walkthrough of Project Iceworm.
Building Camp Century
The recreation of Camp Century for Project Iceworm was made in Unreal Engine, referencing archival documents and photos to recreate the layout in full 3D. Panoramic image captures were then taken in key points and put into a “street-view” framework that can be viewed in-browser.
The 3 panels below can be clicked and dragged to look around. You can explore the full recreation at projecticeworm.dk
