NASA Unveils Hidden Cold War Nuclear Base Beneath Greenland Ice
TL;DR Summary
NASA's radar scans over Greenland have revealed Camp Century, a Cold War-era US military base buried under the ice. Originally part of Project Iceworm, the base was intended to house nuclear missiles but was abandoned in 1967. The site, now covered by ice, contains radioactive and chemical waste. With climate change causing ice melt, there are concerns about the potential release of these wastes, which could lead to political tensions between Denmark and the US.
