NASA finds hidden base under arctic ice

I am the mysterious professor.
NASA scientists collected some marvelous readings while flying over the arctic ice in Greenland during an April 2024 survey.

The radar instrument onboard NASA's Gulfstream III aircraft spotted an abandoned "city under the ice": a relic of the Cold War that was once used as a military base by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

The extremely remote outpost, dubbed Camp Century, includes a massive network of tunnels dug into the surface layers of the ice roughly 150 miles inland. Between 1959 and 1967, the site was used to test the feasibility of launching nuclear missiles from the Arctic.

Wow, that site has a lot of pop-up ads.

I think I'm missing part of the science when the article is saying that since 1967, 100feet of ice has built up over Greenland and they are studying it thinking that the ice will melt by the end of the century due to warming.
