Trillions of dollars in rare earth minerals that could break China&#8217;s stranglehold on global technology. Military positioning that could decide the next world war. And a classified US nuclear base, abandoned with 53,000 gallons of diesel fuel, cancer-causing chemicals, and radioactive waste, all left behind because the Pentagon believed the ice would hide it forever.
