NASA Unearths Cold War Ghost in Greenland

In a chilly November 2024 reveal, NASA used advanced radar to rediscover Camp Century, the abandoned 1960s US Army base buried under Greenland’s ice. Originally built for Project Iceworm, the site harbors 47,000 gallons of radioactive waste and 200,000 liters of diesel fuel. As climate change thaws the ice, environmentalists worry these relics could leak, threatening marine life. Time is ticking—will warming ice expose Cold War secrets before 2100?
