In this documentary, watch how engineers battled brutal Arctic conditions to construct a fully modern base powered by a portable nuclear reactor. From the massive “Peter Plows” carving trenches to the installation of the PM-2A nuclear plant, witness the engineering marvel that allowed soldiers and scientists to live and work 40 feet below the surface.
