NASA Radar Reveals Cold-War Era Camp Century Buried Beneath Greenland Ice
- Scientists have rediscovered Camp Century, a long-lost 'city' buried under 100ft of ice, 58 years after it was abandoned as a US base during the Cold War.
- Camp Century, built in 1959 in northwest Greenland, was a never-completed secret launch site for ballistic missiles to reach the Soviet Union.
- NASA reported that the new mapping shows structures 'in a way that they've never been seen before.'
- An estimated 200,000 litres of diesel oil and sewage left behind has caused a row over the clean-up.

NASA’s bleeding-edge radar has captured a secret Cold War base under Greenland’s receding ice sheet – News 7
Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. In context: Greenland hosts the second-largest body of ice in the world. During the Cold War, the US Army wanted to use this glacier to hide a nuclear base that could quickly strike the Soviet Union in the event of a nuclear conflict. The base can still be seen in great detail using NASA’s latest penetrating radar technology. NASA performed a sc

[imagesource:joga.jo.bee/instagram] A radar image captured by NASA scientists while flying over Greenland reveals an abandoned Cold War-era “city” beneath the ice. Scientists and engineers captured the radar photograph in April 2024 while flying over northern Greenland aboard NASA’s Gulfstream III aeroplane. The abandoned city is Camp Century, a military installation constructed in 1959 by connecting a network of tunnels beneath a near-surface l…
