NASArCOs incredibly sophisticated radar detects a massive base 30 meters
below the North Pole. Researchers have discovered a historic U.S.
military nuclear test site by using a powerful airborne radar to study GreenlandrCOs ice sheets. Researchers at NASArCOs Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have discovered a defunct military installation hidden beneath the
ice in Greenland. A structure tens of meters below the surface was
discovered by scientists using high-precision radar to study the polar
ice sheets. Originally used as a testing ground for nuclear missile
launches from the Arctic, it is one of the US ArmyrCOs most isolated
covert military installations.
NASA has detected a gigantic base 30 meters below the North Pole
According to Alex Gardner, a cryosphere scientist at NASArCOs JPL, they didnrCOt know what it was, as they initially saw it. The radar scans
showed what seemed like a massive structure that had been revealed deep
within the frozen terrain. As we search for the ice bed, Camp Century
appears. Constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1959, Camp Century, commonly referred to as the city under the ice, is a remnant of
the Cold War. It was an underground facility intended to test nuclear
weapons deployment and construction methods in the Arctic. Living
quarters, a hospital, a laboratory, a church, a library, and
recreational spaces were all contained within the complexrCOs 1.2 km
network of interconnecting tunnels.
It can house 200 people and was powered by the PM-2A, the first portable nuclear reactor in history. Approximately thirty meters below the
surface, the facility was abandoned in 1967 and is currently covered in
snow and ice. Last April, Gardner and his crew were flying over northern Greenland in a Gulfstream III aircraft that was fitted with NASArCOs
synthetic aperture radar for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVSAR). This is
how the U.S. agency itself describes the discovery. With the help of
this equipment, radar imaging capabilities are improved, and the
underside of the ice sheet may be precisely studied. It is important to
note that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed Camp Century,
commonly referred to as the city under the ice, in 1959 as a Cold War artifact.
It was an underground facility built to test nuclear weapons deployment
and construction methods in the Arctic. The complexrCOs residential
quarters, hospital, laboratory, chapel, library, and leisure spaces were
all located within a 1.2-kilometer network of interconnecting tunnels.
It was powered by the PM-2A, the first portable nuclear reactor in
history, and can accommodate 200 people. About 30 meters below the
surface, the facility was abandoned in 1967 and is currently covered in
snow and ice.
A potentially dangerous nuclear base, according to NASA
The discovery of such Cold War artifacts in Greenland from the air is
not the first time. There have been instances in the past where
aircraft fitted with ground-penetrating radar have been able to detect
hidden subsurface facilities, but the photos were not completely clear. According to Greene, the new data shows the secret cityrCOs structures in
a way that has never been seen before. The acquired photos correspond to
old maps showing Camp CenturyrCOs amenities and the tunnelsrCO growth. Even though the traces of the former facilityrCOs operations are not dangerous
at the level at which they are now found, scientists are aware that
melting could eventually expose them once more. They warn that any potentially hazardous chemical, biological, and radioactive material
buried during the facilityrCOs dismantling could reappear.
DeSantis wants to relocate NASA HQ to Florida
The National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationrCOs headquarters should
be moved from Washington, D.C., to the Sunshine State, according to
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and others. In remarks last week, the
governor, who last month stated his support for the proposal, reiterated
his belief that moving the headquarters to Florida would likely result
in a billion-dollar savings. DeSantisrCO choice to replace Marco Rubio in
the U.S. Senate, Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., is also promoting the
concept; Rubio resigned from the Senate to take a position as Secretary
of State in President Donald TrumprCOs cabinet.
