NASA, Cold War and Greenland

NASA accidentally discovers hidden Cold War base beneath Greenland ice
Several months ago, scientist Chad Greene was flying aboard a Gulfstream III with engineers in an effort to monitor a radar instrument on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Flying over northern Greenland, Greene was able to photograph the ice sheet from the aircraft window. This image led to the discovery of something buried under ice.
'City under the ice': NASA scientists find abandoned Cold War military base in Greenland
NASA scientists found Camp Century, an abandoned Cold War military base, during a flight to map the Greenland Ice Sheet.
NASA radar picks up frozen, buried Cold War base Camp Century
While flying roughly 150 miles east of northern Greenland’s Pituffik Space Base, the NASA researchers also snapped photos of the polar landscape from the plane’s windows showing a barren, icy expanse. It wasn’t until analyzing the radar images, however, that the team realized what they had flown over without even realizing it.
NASA Uncovers Secret Underground City Hidden 100 Feet Beneath Greenland's Ice, Revealing Cold War-Era Military Base
NASA has discovered Camp Century, a hidden Cold War-era military base buried 100 feet beneath Greenland's ice using advanced radar technology. The base, part of the secret "Project Iceworm," was designed for nuclear missile deployment but was abandoned in 1967.
Nasa scans reveal abandoned city buried under ice in Greenland
A radar image taken by Nasa scientists while flying over Greenland has revealed an abandoned Cold War -era “city” under the ice. Scientists and engineers took the radar image in April 2024 as they flew over northern Greenland aboard Nasa’s Gulfstream III jet.
NASA's radar tech unveils Cold War relic beneath Greenland ice
NASA scientists have rediscovered the former military base Camp Century in Greenland. The discovery was made during tests of a device used to study the interior of glaciers. Although the base's existence was no longer a secret,
NASA Found a Secret Military Base Buried 100 Feet Deep in Greenland’s Ice Shelf
NASA scientists have found the remains of a U.S. military base buried 100 feet below the surface of the ice in Greenland. Camp Century, as it was called, was a Cold War-era satellite for the U.S. Army used as a front for a planned arsenal of nuclear missiles.
Camp Century: Abandoned Cold War 'city under the ice' rediscovered by NASA
NASA said new mapping shows the abandoned base "like never before", almost 60 years after the US abandoned the project.
NASA Radar Reveals Cold War 'City Under The Ice' In Greenland: 'We Didn't Know What It Was'
"In the new data, individual structures in the secret city are visible in a way that they've never been seen before," said NASA cryospheric scientist Chad Greene, who was aboard a Gulfstream III jet carrying the radar when Camp Century was detected.
'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.
