NASA Reveals Hidden Cold War Nuclear Base Beneath Greenland Ice
TL;DR Summary
NASA scientists have rediscovered Camp Century, a defunct Cold War-era U.S. military base buried beneath Greenland's ice sheet, using advanced radar technology. Originally built in 1959 as part of Project Iceworm to house nuclear missile launch sites, the base was abandoned in 1967 due to ice instability. The recent radar mapping revealed detailed 3D structures of the base, which lies over 100 feet below the ice surface. This discovery provides insights into the ice sheet's dynamics and potential future exposure of the base's hazardous waste.
