NASA, Cold War and Greenland

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.
'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.

"City under the ice": NASA finds secret base buried in Greenland
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.
NASA Discovers Secret Army Base Buried Under Decades of Ice
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 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 bleeding-edge radar has captured a secret Cold War base under Greenland's receding ice sheet
NASA performed a scientific mission earlier this year, surveying Greenland's massive ice sheet to test the limits and capabilities of its Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture
'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.
NASA discovers underground ‘city’ beneath ice sheet in Greenland
What’s old is new again. NASA scientists discovered an underground “city” buried 100 feet beneath the ice of Greenland.
NASA Image Reveals Lost US Military Base—'City Under the Ice'
"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," NASA cryospheric scientist Alex Gardner said.
NASA accidentally discovers hidden Cold War base beneath Greenland ice
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.
The melting of Greenland: A climate challenge with major implications for the 21st century
The melting of Greenland is accelerating, with an estimated loss of between 964 and 1735 gigatons of ice per year by 2100 in ...
