NASA shows off image "acquired by chance" of U.S. military's abandoned "city under the ice" in Greenland
Scientists now have a clearer picture of Camp Century, an abandoned U.S. military base long hidden under the ice in Greenland, thanks to a NASA research team's good luck.
Camp Century: Abandoned Cold War 'city under the ice' rediscovered by NASA
NASA said new mapping shows the abandoned base "like never before", almost 60 years after the US abandoned the project.
NASA Image Reveals Lost US Military Base—'City Under the Ice'
"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," NASA cryospheric scientist Alex Gardner said.
'City under the ice': NASA scientists find abandoned Cold War military base in Greenland
NASA scientists found Camp Century, an abandoned Cold War military base, during a flight to map the Greenland Ice Sheet.
NASA radar picks up frozen, buried Cold War base Camp Century
While flying roughly 150 miles east of northern Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base, the NASA researchers also snapped photos of the polar landscape from the plane’s windows showing a barren, icy expanse. It wasn’t until analyzing the radar images, however, that the team realized what they had flown over without even realizing it.
NASA Scientists Accidentally Discover Secret City Under Greenland Ice
NASA scientists have made a surprising discovery beneath Greenland's thick ice sheet: an abandoned Cold War-era military base called Camp Century, now buried 30 meters below the surface.
NASA Found a Secret Military Base Buried 100 Feet Deep in Greenland’s Ice Shelf
NASA scientists have found the remains of a U.S. military base buried 100 feet below the surface of the ice in Greenland. Camp Century, as it was called, was a Cold War-era satellite for the U.S. Army used as a front for a planned arsenal of nuclear missiles.
Nasa scans reveal abandoned city buried under ice in Greenland
A radar image taken by Nasa scientists while flying over Greenland has revealed an abandoned Cold War -era “city” under the ice. Scientists and engineers took the radar image in April 2024 as they flew over northern Greenland aboard Nasa’s Gulfstream III jet.
NASA plane swooped over the Arctic. It detected a buried military base.
The U.S. Army chose frigid, remote Greenland for a secretive Cold War project code-named "Iceworm." Years later, NASA detected the project's buried base, called Camp Century, deep beneath the accumulating ice. A space agency research plane swooped over the remote Arctic region this year, using an advanced radar to scan the changing ice sheet below.
'We didn't know what it was at first.' NASA aircraft uncovers site of secret Cold War nuclear missile tunnels under Greenland ice sheet
As it turns out, this abandoned "secret city" was the site of a secret Cold War project known as Project Iceworm which called for the construction of 2,500 miles (4,023 km) of tunnels that could be used to nuclear intermediate range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) at the Soviet Union.
NASA Radar Reveals Cold War ‘City Under the Ice’
Camp Century, a subterranean military base in Greenland, was spotted under the icy expanse during a flight earlier this year.
