NASA Reveals Cold War's Frozen City Beneath Greenland's Ice
TL;DR Summary
NASA scientists accidentally discovered the abandoned Cold War-era U.S. military base, Camp Century, buried under Greenland's ice sheet using advanced radar technology. Originally built in 1959 as part of Project Iceworm to explore missile launch sites, the base was abandoned in 1967 and has since been buried under ice. The new radar images provide unprecedented detail of the base's structures, raising concerns about potential exposure of buried waste due to climate change-induced ice melting.
