In April 2024, NASA scientist Chad Greene flew aboard a Gulfstream III with a team of engineers, monitoring a radar instrument as it probed the Greenland Ice Sheet below. Flying about 150 miles east from Pituffik Space Base in northern Greenland, Greene snapped this photo from the aircraft?s window showing the vast, barren expanse of the ice sheet?s surface. That?s when the radar unexpectedly detected something buried within the ice.?We were looking for the bed of the ice and out pops Camp Century,? said Alex Gardner, a cryospheric scientist at NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who helped lead the project. ?We didn?t know what it was at first.?
