NASA reveals hidden Cold War-era city beneath Greenland's ice

NASA scientists have discovered a secret underground city, Camp Century, buried 100 feet beneath Greenland's ice. This Cold War-era site was a U.S. Army base designed for nuclear missile operations, featuring plans for extensive tunnels. Advanced radar technology revealed individual structures of the camp, which operated from 1959 to 1967 before being abandoned due to ice pressure. Thousands of gallons of nuclear waste remain buried at the site. The discovery gained attention after the incoming U.S. president reiterated interest in purchasing Greenland, a notion first raised by Donald Trump in 2019. He emphasized the island's importance for national security.
