US Cold War Nuclear Base Hidden In Greenland
US Cold War Nuclear Base Hidden In Greenland

NASA scientists have rediscovered an abandoned U.S. nuclear base buried beneath Greenland's ice sheet since the Cold War.

During a research flight over the Arctic Circle last spring, the team detected a vast network of tunnels and structures hidden deep within the ice.

The site was later identified as Camp Century, a military outpost built as part of Project Iceworm—a secret Pentagon project which aimed to build nuclear-missile launch sites beneath the ice that could target the Soviet Union.
