Cold War Ice Base Uncovered by NASA Radar

NASA scientists, using advanced radar technology, have rediscovered Camp Century, a Cold War-era U.S. military base buried beneath Greenland's ice. Originally constructed in 1959 for nuclear missile testing, the base was abandoned in 1967 and now lies under nearly 100 feet of ice. The discovery raises concerns about potential environmental hazards if melting ice exposes the base's remnants, including radioactive waste. The radar imagery, obtained by chance, highlights the importance of understanding ice sheet dynamics in the context of climate change.
