NASA finds Cold War U.S. military base, Camp Century, buried under Greenland's ice.

NASA's radar detected Camp Century, a decommissioned Cold War-era U.S. military base, beneath Greenland's ice sheet. Built in 1959 as part of Project Iceworm, the base aimed to house nuclear missiles but was abandoned in 1967. Recently spotted by NASA's UAVSAR during a test flight, the site, now buried under at least 100 feet of ice, provides insights into Cold War history and climate change effects on ice sheets.
