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 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.
'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.
'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 Uncovers a Hidden Cold War City Buried Beneath Greenland’s Ice
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.
NASA Radar Reveals Cold War ‘City Under the Ice’
Camp Century, a subterranean military base in Greenland, was spotted under the icy expanse during a flight earlier this year.
NASA's radar unearths Cold War-Era base under Greenland ice
NASA scientists have discovered the former military base Camp Century in Greenland. The discovery was made during tests of a device used to study the interior of glaciers. Although the base's existence was no longer a secret,
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
NASA Image Reveals Lost US Military Base—'City Under the Ice'
"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," NASA cryospheric scientist Alex Gardner said.
NASA radar picks up frozen, buried Cold War base Camp Century
While flying roughly 150 miles east of northern Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base, the NASA researchers also snapped photos of the polar landscape from the plane’s windows showing a barren, icy expanse. It wasn’t until analyzing the radar images, however, that the team realized what they had flown over without even realizing it.
