TL;DR Summary

NASA's recent flyover using UAVSAR technology has provided a new look at Camp Century, a Cold War-era US military base buried under Greenland's ice since 1967. Originally built for Project Iceworm, the camp was abandoned due to the instability of the ice sheet. The discovery highlights concerns about the potential environmental impact of nuclear and chemical waste stored at the site, which could be exposed due to climate change. The new imaging offers insights but also underscores the need for further study to assess the risks of waste leakage.
