NASA Uncovers Hidden Cold War Base Beneath Greenland Ice
TL;DR Summary
NASA's research plane, equipped with advanced radar, has detected the long-buried Camp Century, a Cold War-era U.S. military base in Greenland, beneath the ice. Originally part of a secretive project called "Iceworm," the base was intended to house nuclear missile launchers. Although abandoned in 1967, the base remains buried under 100 feet of ice. However, climate change is accelerating ice melt in the Arctic, potentially exposing the base and its hazardous waste sooner than expected.
