Operated from 1959-67, Camp Century was abandoned after officials realized the ice wasn’t as stable as previously thought. Since then, it’d largely been forgotten about – that is, until NASA accidentally captured an image of the subterranean base in April 2024.

NASA's radar revealed Camp Century, a Cold War base under Greenland's ice. It provides data on ice sheet melting and rising sea levels.

As a NASA science flight was flying over the Greenland ice sheet this spring, a surprise popped up on a specialty radar: a hidden Cold War city more than 100 feet beneath the ice.

Scientists flying in a NASA Gulfstream III jet to measure Arctic ice with a radar therefore got something of a surprise when they found just such a secret base, long since given over to the elements and buried deep under the ice sheet of Greenland.

NASA scientists unearthed an astonishing man-made spectacle, lying frozen 100 feet below the surface and frozen in secrecy and ice. The post NASA Finds Secret Underground “City” Hidden From The World Under 100 Feet Of Ice And Snow first appeared on Bored Panda.
