"In April 2024, NASA radar spotted an abandoned city under ice in Greenland. Camp Century, built by the U.S. military in the late 1950s, was, among other things, a storehouse for nuclear weapons during the Cold War. Now it’s the problematic site of an enormous quantity of chemical and radioactive waste"
