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 Accidentally Rediscovers Cold War-Era Military Base Beneath Greenland’s Ice Sheet
Operated from 1959-67, Camp Century was abandoned after officials realized the ice wasn’t as stable as previously thought. Since then, it’d largely been forgotten about – that is, until NASA accidentally captured an image of the subterranean base in April 2024.
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.
'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.
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 Discovers Secret Army Base Buried Under Decades of Ice
Radar surveys occasionally show evidence of the base, lurking there like an environmental time bomb under the ice. But in April 2024, using NASA's Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) strapped to the belly of the plane, scientists were able to resolve Camp Century in a new level of detail.
NASA shows off image "acquired by chance" of U.S. military's abandoned "city under the ice" in Greenland
Scientists now have a clearer picture of Camp Century, an abandoned U.S. military base long hidden under the ice in Greenland, thanks to a NASA research team's good luck.
"City Under Ice": NASA Discovers Secret US Military Base 100 Feat Beneath Greenland Ice Sheet
The discovery was made in April, when a NASA Gulfstream III aircraft flew over the area, revealing the remnants of Camp Century, a long-abandoned Cold War-era military base.
NASA Discovers Hidden 'City Under Ice' Meant To House Nuclear Missiles During The Cold War
A NASA Gulfstream III aircraft equipped with advanced radar technology, known as the Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), was flying over the Greenland Ice Sheet to map its depth and underlying layers of bedrock.
‘City under the ice’: NASA unearths hidden Cold War era US military base 100 feet beneath Greenland
NASAs recent radar survey over Greenland has uncovered Camp Century, a Cold War-era U.S. military base buried beneath 100 feet of ice. The base, built in 1959, housed "Project Iceworm," a covert plan to deploy nuclear missiles.
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. In April 2024, a team of engineers and scientists were flying on NASA’s Gulfstream III,
