NASA, Cold War and Greenland ice sheet

'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 Uncovers a Hidden Cold War City Buried Beneath Greenland’s Ice
NASA scientists accidentally uncovered Camp Century, a hidden Cold War base under Greenland's ice, using advanced radar technology in April 2024. This discovery not only brings historical artifacts to light but also assists in ice sheet studies critical for understanding future sea level changes.
'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.
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 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.
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.
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's radar unearths Cold War-Era base under Greenland ice
NASA scientists have discovered 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 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.

Nasa scans reveal abandoned city buried under ice in Greenland
Scientists and engineers took the radar image in April 2024 as they flew over northern Greenland aboard Nasa’s Gulfstream III jet. The abandoned city is a military base called Camp Century, built in 1959 by cutting a web of tunnels under a near-surface layer of 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 ...
