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 scientists accidentally uncovered Camp Century, a hidden Cold War base under Greenland's ice, using advanced radar technology in April 2024. This discovery not only brings historical artifacts to light but also assists in ice sheet studies critical for understanding future sea level changes.

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.

Several months ago, scientist Chad Greene was flying aboard a Gulfstream III with engineers in an effort to monitor a radar instrument on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Flying over northern Greenland, Greene was able to photograph the ice sheet from the aircraft window. This image led to the discovery of something buried under ice.

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 scientists conducting surveys of arctic ice sheets in Greenland got an unprecedented view of an abandoned "city under the ice" built by the U.S. military during the Cold War.

A NASA research aircraft spotted Camp Century, home to the secretive Cold War project Iceworm, deep beneath Greenland's ice.
