NASA was amazing in researching the ice in Greenland. Scientists stumble at the base while making ice maps. It was then that many old -fashioned US military bases, camp centuries came out. It was pressed under the ice for years. Later, there may be great damage to the environment, scientists concerned.
Alex Gardner, a scientist at the NASA Jet Proplacement Laboratory, explained the moment that they were not sure what they discovered, because the site was pressed under the ice for decades. New radar has helped technology scientists explore the camp century.
Instead of the old radar, the new unhawed Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar has helped scientists much more detailed and accurately. Chad Green, a scientist in the team, said for the first time the structures of this secret base were seen in a way that was never possible before. This new technology brings forward an important part of history, which has been pressed under the ice for many years.

Unaware
During the Cold War, the US military created the camp century in the 5th. This base was used to research scientific research to explore the possibility of launching a nuclear missile from Arctic. The base was built deep in the Greenland ice. At one time, the base of 8 to 20 soldiers also had a nuclear -powered generator.
Over the years, camp century became an important place for research, and the ice core samples taken from there are still valuable for climate study. However, its military purpose was kept secret. In 9, when the military abandoned the launch of nuclear missiles, the camp century was closed. The nuclear reactor was removed, but a lot of waste was deposited in the camp.
This will be the cause of the environmental damage
After so many years, the discovery of camp century has led to serious environmental concerns. Scientists are concerned that the poisonous waste that is pressed underneath it as soon as the ice melts. In this context, Climate Scientist, William Kolgan, warned that by 20, the site’s ice would start melting. If so, the waste trapped in the ice safely for years can spread to the atmosphere.
Camp -century waste includes dangerous chemicals, such as 5 gallons of diesel fuel, 5 gallons of waste water and unknown amounts from nuclear furnace. The site has about 5 acres of waste, it can become a major threat to the environment in the future.

The most frightening thing is that scientists believe that about 5 feet of ice is under 5 acres of waste. This waste includes dangerous chemicals such as diesel fuel, waste water and radioactive substances. When the ice melts, these toxins can be emitted, which will damage the environment. So if the base is exposed, it may become an environmental crisis.
In the meantime, climate change is warming the arctic, which is melting the ice sheet faster. With the melting of the ice, it can spread dangerous waste pollution for decades. That is, camp century can affect both waste, environment and human health.
