Hidden Underground ‘City’ Discovered by NASA 100 Foot Below Ice Sheet in Greenland, Identified as Military Base
Hidden Underground ‘City’ Discovered by NASA 100 Foot Below Ice Sheet in Greenland, Identified as Military Base In April, NASA scientist Chad Greene was on a flight over the snow-covered grounds of Greenland with his team of engineers,
'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 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 Uncovers Hidden Cold War Base Beneath Greenland’s Ice Sheet: A Climate and History Revelation
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 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 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 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.
NASA Accidentally Rediscovers Cold War-Era Military Base Beneath Greenland’s Ice Sheet
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 uncovers hidden Cold War military base in Greenland
A team of NASA engineers aboard the Gulfstream III detected something buried under the ice sheet in Northwestern Greenland. NASA scientists didn't know what it was at first, until discovering it was Camp Century,
