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
