TL;DR Summary

NASA researchers have rediscovered Camp Century, a Cold War-era U.S. military base buried under Greenland's ice sheet. Originally part of Project Iceworm, the base was intended to house nuclear missiles but was abandoned in 1967 due to unstable ice conditions. The site, now buried under 30 meters of ice, poses environmental risks due to leftover nuclear waste. The discovery was made using radar technology, revealing structures that align with historical maps of the base. Concerns are rising about potential exposure of the site due to climate change.
