A secret Cold War-era nuclear submarine base in Norway is to be reopened as America and Russia wrestle for control of the Arctic Ocean.

Olavsvern, which was closed in 2002, is a colossal complex carved into a mountain near the northern city of Tromso. It includes 9,800ft of deep water underground docks that can house and refit nuclear submarines.

According to NRK, Norway’s national broadcaster, the base will be open to the US navy’s three Seawolf submarines. “An agreement on the return of Olavsvern to the armed forces may be ready as early as [this] week, as a result of pressure from the US navy,” NRK reported this weekend.
