NASA Uncovers Hidden Cold War Base Beneath Greenland Ice
TL;DR
NASA scientists accidentally discovered the Cold War-era Camp Century military base beneath Greenland's ice sheet while testing radar instruments. Originally built by the US Army in 1959 and abandoned in 1967, the base lies 100 feet below the surface. The discovery was made using advanced radar technology, which revealed detailed structures of the base. This finding highlights the potential for future mapping of ice sheets and raises concerns about possible exposure of buried waste due to ice melting.
