NASA Unearths Hidden Cold War Base Beneath Greenland Ice

NASA's Chad Greene leads the radar discovery of Camp Century, a secret 1959 US military base buried under 115 feet of Greenland ice since its 1967 abandonment. Originally part of Project Iceworm to launch nuclear missiles, the site still harbors hazardous waste including 47,000 gallons of radioactive material.

With climate change accelerating ice melt, experts worry these toxins could surface by 2100, posing environmental threats. A chilly blast from the past with warming implications.
