Radar surveys occasionally show evidence of the base, lurking there like an environmental time bomb under the ice. But in April 2024, using NASA's Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) strapped to the belly of the plane, scientists were able to resolve Camp Century in a new level of detail.

NASA's radar revealed Camp Century, a Cold War base under Greenland's ice. It provides data on ice sheet melting and rising sea levels.

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.

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 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.

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,

A NASA scientist uncovered a Cold War military base under ice in Greenland this April, as reported by NASA’s Earth Observatory on Monday. 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.
