Project Iceworm
Project Iceworm was a top-secret US military project from the cold war. Powered, remarkably, by the world’s first mobile nuclear generator and known as “the city under the ice”, the camp’s three-kilometre network of tunnels, eight metres beneath the ice, housed laboratories, a shop, a hospital, a cinema, a chapel and accommodation for as many as 200 soldiers. Its personnel were officially stationed there to test Arctic construction methods and carry out research. Scientists based at the camp did, indeed, drill the first ice core samples ever used to study the earth’s climate, obtaining data still cited today. In reality, the camp served as cover for something altogether different. Project Iceworm, presented to the US chiefs of staff in 1960, aimed to use Camp Century’s frozen tunnels to test the feasibility of a huge launch site under the ice, close enough to fire nuclear missiles directly at the Soviet Union.

Palazzo Dario
Palazzo Dario is a Venetian palace on the Grand Canal of Venice at the mouth of the Rio delle Torreselle in the Dorsoduro section of Venice and located on the Campiello Barbaro. The palazzo was built in the floral Venetian Gothic style and was refaced with Renaissance features. The palace's formal address is "Dorsoduro 352". Palazzo Dario is often described as one of Venice's most exotic palaces and typically compared to Ca d'Oro. It resides on an enchanting little square, the Campiello Barbaro, named in honor of the patrician Barbaro family members who lived there. The square is shaded by trees and flanked by Palazzo Dario itself. The palazzo's eccentric beauty was of special interest to John Ruskin who described its marble-encrusted oculi in great detail.
