A radar image taken by Nasa scientists while flying over Greenland has revealed an abandoned Cold War -era “city” under the ice. Scientists and engineers took the radar image in April 2024 as they flew over northern Greenland aboard Nasa’s Gulfstream III jet.

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 scientists have found the remains of a U.S. military base buried 100 feet below the surface of the ice in Greenland. Camp Century, as it was called, was a Cold War-era satellite for the U.S. Army used as a front for a planned arsenal of nuclear missiles.

"We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century," NASA scientist Chad Greene said after spotting the secret city and Cold War relic in Greenland. Greene and his team were flying over the Greenland Ice Sheet in April,

"We didn't know what it was at first." Known as the "city under the ice," Camp Century is a Cold War relic that was built in 1959 by the Army Corps of Engineers and became buried under snow and ice after it was abandoned in 1967,
