Map Shows US Nuclear Base Hidden Under Greenland's Ice Since Cold War
- In April 2024, NASA scientists rediscovered Camp Century, a secret Cold War-era U.S. Nuclear base buried under Greenland's ice sheet built in 1959.
- The discovery followed decades of strategic interest in Greenland, with shifting ice making the underground missile launch project unfeasible and abandoned by 1967.
- Camp Century spanned about 9,800 feet with over 21 tunnels powered by a nuclear reactor, hidden beneath at least 100 feet of constantly moving ice.
- President Trump renewed calls to acquire Greenland, stating 'I need Greenland very badly' on May 4, 2024, citing national security and the island's strategic value.
- Officials in Greenland and Denmark firmly rejected sale offers, emphasizing sovereignty, while U.S. Officials consider special status amid rising Arctic competition from Russia and China.
