TL;DR Summary

NASA scientists accidentally discovered the remnants of "Camp Century," a Cold War-era U.S. military installation under Greenland's ice, originally part of the secretive Project Iceworm aimed at storing nuclear weapons. The discovery was made using advanced radar technology during a mission to study Greenland's ice sheets. Camp Century, abandoned in 1966, was intended to house a network of tunnels for launching nuclear missiles against the Soviet Union. The find offers new insights into Cold War military strategies and raises concerns about potential environmental impacts as the ice melts.
