A long-abandoned US military base known as Camp Century was recently rediscovered under the ice after a NASA pilot conducting airborne radar tests captured images of its underground remains.
The base, built in secret during the Cold War, lies about 118 feet below the surface and spreads across an area roughly 0.7 miles long and 0.3 miles wide.
Once described as a self-contained underground town, Camp Century housed a hospital, theater, church and shop, and was powered by a small nuclear reactor.
As Greenland’s ice melts at accelerating rates, scientists have warned that hazardous waste left behind at the site could eventually be released into the environment.
That waste includes chemical pollutants, biological sewage, diesel fuel, and radioactive material once thought to be safely sealed in ice forever.
Researchers now say that assumption was deeply flawed. ‘What climate change did was press the gas pedal to the floor,’ said James White, a climate scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Camp Century was constructed in the late 1950s with the knowledge of both the US and Danish governments under the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement.
“‘What climate change did was press the gas pedal to the floor,’ said James White, a climate scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder.”
These people will never get a clue. The climate has been changing for millennia with no help from mankind. It’s the sun stoopid.
