In recent imaging, scientists used a new, powerful radar device to reveal Camp Century, a once-secret military base buried under Greenland's ice since the Cold War.
Chad Greene, a cryospheric scientist, stated that the UAVSAR captures the highest-resolution image yet of Camp Century, revealing its historical significance under ice.
Constructed in 1959, Camp Century served as a military base with a nuclear reactor, modern amenities, and was a part of the secretive Project Iceworm.
Originally intended for scientific research, Camp Century concealed its role in a military mission to potentially launch missiles from beneath the ice.
