NASA Radar Detects Abandoned Site of Secret Cold War Project in Greenland—a ‘City Under the Ice’
Camp Century was built in 1959 and advertised as a U.S. research site—but it also hosted a clandestine missile facility
NASA Rediscovers Cold War Base Buried Under Greenland’s Ice
NASA scientists have located Camp Century, a U.S. military base from the Cold War era, buried deep beneath Greenland’s ice sheet. Built in the 1950s and abandoned in 1967, the base remained hidden under layers of ice for decades.
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.
NASA radar accidentally finds secret Cold War 'city under the ice' in Greenland
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.
NASA unexpectedly discovered a city under the Greenland ice sheet
In April 2024, NASA scientist Chad Greene and a team of engineers flew over the Greenland Ice Sheet, using radar to study the ice beneath. While flying east of Pituffik Space Base, Greene captured a photo of the ice sheet’s surface, and the radar unexpectedly detected something buried beneath the ice.
'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 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 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.
"City under the ice": NASA finds secret base buried in Greenland
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.
NASA's bleeding-edge radar has captured a secret Cold War base under Greenland's receding ice sheet
NASA performed a scientific mission earlier this year, surveying Greenland's massive ice sheet to test the limits and capabilities of its Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture
'We didn't know what it was at first.' NASA aircraft uncovers site of secret Cold War nuclear missile tunnels under Greenland ice sheet
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.
NASA discovers underground ‘city’ beneath ice sheet in Greenland
What’s old is new again. NASA scientists discovered an underground “city” buried 100 feet beneath the ice of Greenland.
NASA discovers a 'Secret City' built by US military to survive a nuclear attack
