"NASA Uncovers Decades-Old Mystery Hidden Beneath Greenland's Ice Sheet"

NASAs recent radar detection beneath Greenlands ice sheet has revealed remnants of Camp Century, a Cold War-era United States Army base, uncovering a long-hidden historical mystery.

During a 2022 flyover of Greenland, NASA scientists, including Chad Green, uncovered remnants of Camp Century buried beneath the ice sheet using advanced radar technology.
The Gulfstream III aircraft utilized radar to detect the structures, which had been concealed under Greenlands ice for decades, sparking intrigue among researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Originally established in the 1950s, Camp Century served as a scientific research base for the United States Army during the Cold War, highlighting its historical significance.

Why It Matters

This discovery not only sheds light on historical military operations during the Cold War but also emphasizes the importance of understanding Greenlands ice sheet in the context of climate change and its implications for global sea levels.
