NASA reveals hidden military base beneath Greenland's ice sheet
NASA has discovered a hidden military base beneath Greenland's ice sheet, originally built in 1959 as part of Project Iceworm. This Cold War relic, buried under 100 feet of ice, features over 3,000 miles of tunnels and was designed for nuclear missile deployment. The base was kept secret from Denmark, which was told it was a scientific outpost. It was abandoned in 1967 due to the unstable ice sheet. NASA's recent research mission used advanced radar technology to reveal the base's structures, confirming its historical significance. The discovery raises environmental concerns as the melting ice sheet could expose buried hazardous materials. Researchers emphasize the importance of understanding ice thickness to predict how ice sheets will respond to climate change and its effects on sea levels.
