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.
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.
'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 cameras discover hidden city under arctic ice
NASA have accidentally rediscovered a Cold War-Era Base in Greenland. This rediscovery, rather than a new find, brings to light Camp Century, a U.S. military base abandoned in 1967. “At first, we didn’t know what it was,” explained the scientists.
NASA Image Reveals Lost US Military Base—'City Under the Ice'
"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," NASA cryospheric scientist Alex Gardner said.
NASA plane swooped over the Arctic. It detected a buried military base.
The U.S. Army chose frigid, remote Greenland for a secretive Cold War project code-named "Iceworm." Years later, NASA detected the project's buried base, called Camp Century, deep beneath the accumulating ice. A space agency research plane swooped over the remote Arctic region this year, using an advanced radar to scan the changing ice sheet below.

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.

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.
