NASA Reveals Secret Cold War Base Beneath Arctic Ice
TL;DR Summary
NASA's radar-equipped Gulfstream III aircraft has detected the remnants of Camp Century, a Cold War-era military base, beneath Greenland's Arctic ice. Originally used by the US Army Corps of Engineers to test nuclear missile launches, the base is now buried under 100 feet of ice and snow. The discovery was made during a mission to study climate change effects on the Arctic ice sheet. Scientists are concerned that melting ice could expose radioactive waste from the site, posing environmental risks.
