Impactante descubrimiento de la NASA: hallaron una ciudad atómica oculta bajo el hielo en Groenlandia
Un vuelo científico rutinario sobre el norte de Groenlandia se convirtió en un hallazgo histórico. En una misión que parece sacada de un relato de ciencia ficción, un equipo de científicos de la NASA descubrió recientemente vestigios de Camp Century, una base militar estadounidense construida en el contexto de la Guerra Fría y oculta bajo las gélidas extensiones del noreste de Groenlandia.
Según reseñó The Wall Street Journal, meses, a bordo del avión, un equipo de investigadores que probaba un nuevo radar de penetración de hielo, detectó una serie de estructuras geométricas inusuales. Ahora, se descubrió que lo que parecía una ciudad perdida bajo la superficie helada resultó ser la instalación militar construida durante la Guerra Fría y enterrada desde hace más de medio siglo.
El radar, conocido como UAVSAR, fue diseñado para mapear la base del lecho glaciar y ayudar a predecir el aumento del nivel del mar. Pero en lugar de hielo puro, devolvió imágenes de túneles, edificios conectados y restos de vida subterránea. Fue el primer registro completo de la instalación desde su abandono en 1967.
Oficialmente, Camp Century fue presentada como una avanzada estación científica para estudiar el hielo ártico. En realidad, detalla WSJ, formaba parte del encubierto Proyecto Iceworm, una iniciativa del Pentágono para instalar hasta 600 misiles nucleares de alcance medio bajo la superficie de Groenlandia, a salvo de la vigilancia soviética.
La base comenzó a construirse en 1959 con autorización del gobierno danés, que desconocía el verdadero propósito del proyecto. Fue abandonada apenas ocho años después, en 1967, cuando los ingenieros concluyeron que el movimiento del hielo hacía inviable mantener misiles bajo tierra.
Desde ese entonces, el tiempo y el clima han sepultado la estructura bajo al menos 30 metros de hielo. Durante su existencia, fue promovida al público como un centro de investigación, mientras que su auténtica función permaneció oculta, un secreto guardado hasta 1996.
El carácter secreto de Camp Century fue tal que incluso muchos de los militares destinados allí no conocían su finalidad. Robert Weiss, médico estadounidense que sirvió en la base en 1962, relató que creía estar en una misión científica. El verdadero objetivo se reveló solo en 1996, cuando se desclasificaron documentos del Departamento de Defensa. La revelación causó indignación en Dinamarca, que había declarado su territorio libre de armas nucleares desde los años 50.
La red de túneles interconectados que componían Camp Century se extendía a lo largo de casi tres kilómetros, incluía dormitorios, un comedor y laboratorios, y alojaba a unas 200 personas, en su mayoría militares. Todo el complejo era alimentado por un reactor nuclear, una hazaña logística que involucró el transporte del reactor más de 210 kilómetros a través del hielo.
Su descubrimiento no solo proporciona un recordatorio intenso de la presencia estadounidense en el Ártico, sino que también es reflejo de una época en la que Groenlandia desempeñaba un papel vital en las estrategias de seguridad tanto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial como de la Guerra Fría. Durante la ocupación de Dinamarca en 1940 por parte de las fuerzas alemanas, las autoridades danesas en Washington firmaron un acuerdo que permitió a Estados Unidos asumir la defensa de Groenlandia.
Este acuerdo se transformó en un tratado en 1951, ratificado por el parlamento danés, que sigue teniendo implicaciones geopolíticas en la actualidad.
En esa época, el despliegue de tropas estadounidenses en Groenlandia alcanzó su apogeo, con hasta 17 bases y 10.000 soldados. Sin embargo, los tiempos han cambiado dramáticamente, y la única base actualmente activa, la Base Espacial Pituffik (antes conocida como Base Aérea Thule), cuenta con menos de 200 efectivos.
El sistema de radar UAVSAR utilizado por la NASA para este descubrimiento no se diseñó con la intención de explorar bases militares secretas, sino que su tarea principal consistía en cartografiar el lecho del hielo en Groenlandia y Antártida con el fin de entender mejor los flujos glaciales y prever cómo estos podrían influir en los futuros niveles del mar a nivel mundial.
Sin embargo, al sobrevolar el hielo en el norte de Groenlandia, los científicos pudieron delinear con claridad los túneles de Camp Century, lo que les permitió construir un mapa completo de la base enterrada. Según explicó al WSJ Chad Greene, especialista en teledetección satelital y aprendizaje automático en el grupo de Nivel del Mar y Hielo de la Sección de Ciencias de la Tierra del JPL/Caltech, observar la estructura y su complejidad fue como realizar un viaje en el tiempo, como descubrir una civilización perdida.
El uso de Groenlandia como puesto militar por parte de Estados Unidos ha sido históricamente una fuente de tensión. El despliegue clasificado de armas nucleares y el accidente de un B-52 armado nuclearmente cerca de la Base Aérea Thule en 1968, que causó contaminación radiactiva, intensificaron las controversias entre Dinamarca y los Estados Unidos.
Lo que comenzó como una misión científica sobre el deshielo terminó desenterrando uno de los secretos más profundos de la Guerra Fría.

The thieves who brazenly robbed the Louvre Museum in Paris and stole priceless jewelry in one of the most daring museum heists in recent memory may have been hired by a private collector, officials said.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau told local media that investigators believe the robbers, who carried out the raid in just seven minutes in broad daylight Sunday, may have been commissioned by a collector or purely motivated by the value of the jewels and precious metals, Reuters reported.
«We’re looking at the hypothesis of organized crime,» Beccuau told BFM TV, noting that the thieves could be professionals operating on spec for a buyer.
Beccuau added that if a collector did commission the heist, there is hope that the stolen pieces will remain intact and well-preserved until recovered, the outlet reported. If the thieves acted independently, they may have targeted the jewels for their potential use in laundering criminal proceeds.

«Nowadays, anything can be linked to drug trafficking, given the significant sums of money obtained from drug trafficking,» Beccuau said, according to Reuters.
Investigators are keeping all leads open, but foreign interference has reportedly been largely ruled out in the case.
LOUVRE MUSEUM CLOSED AFTER ROBBERY, FRENCH OFFICIAL SAYS
Former jewel thief Larry Lawton, who now assists police on such investigations, told Fox News that the operation «had to be an inside job» or the thieves must have «had inside information.»
«How did they know how thick the glass was, whether there was an alarm on there?» Lawton asked.
Lawton added that if he were the thieves, he would not immediately sell the items to avoid detection.
«I might put them and stash them somewhere no one knows, wait a year or two,» Lawton said, adding that companies would eventually give out a reward «with no questions asked.»
«They’ll put up a million dollars for this … obviously they want their jewels back,» he said.
MUSEUM’S ANCIENT BRACELET THEFT JOINS LIST OF OTHER PRICELESS ARTIFACTS STOLEN AND DESTROYED WORLDWIDE
The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum, announced it would remain closed on Monday following Sunday’s daring theft.
Masked thieves disguised as construction workers struck in front of visitors and staff Sunday morning, a period described as one of the museum’s most chaotic, authorities said. Officials said thieves extended a basket lift to a window and smashed it open with an angle grinder. They reportedly used a disc cutter to slice through glass panes protecting the jewels.

A total of nine objects were targeted, eight of which were stolen, officials said. The thieves failed to take the ninth item, the crown of Napoleon III’s wife, Empress Eugenie, during their escape.
The crown alone is worth tens of millions of euros, though experts say it is not the most significant piece.
Authorities have not yet identified the robbers, who made their escape on motorbikes.

With the November election just 15 days out, the Republican nominee in one of the nation’s only two races for governor this year is feeling confident.
«The energy across the state is electric. The reception in minority communities has been great, and on being endorsed by prominent Democrats, that tells you all you need to know in terms of the people of New Jersey wanting change. And that’s what this election is all about. Change,» Jack Ciattarelli said this weekend in an interview on «Fox News Sunday.»
Ciattarelli, who’s making his third straight run for Garden State governor and who nearly upset Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy four years ago, has good reason to be optimistic he can pull off victory in blue-leaning New Jersey.
In a state where registered Democrats still outnumber Republicans despite a GOP surge in registration this decade, three public opinion polls released last week — from Fox News, Quinnipiac University and Fairleigh Dickinson University — indicated Ciattarelli narrowing the gap with Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rep. Mikie Sherrill in the race to succeed the term-limited Murphy.

The Fox News poll conducted Oct. 10 – 14, put Sherrill at 50% support among likely voters, with Ciattarelli at 45%. Sherrill’s 5-point advantage was down from an 8-point lead in Fox News’ September survey in New Jersey.
New Jersey and Virginia are the only two states to hold gubernatorial showdowns in the year after a presidential election, and the contests traditionally grab outsized attention and are viewed as political barometers ahead of the following year’s midterm elections.

And this year, they’re being viewed, in part, as ballot-box referendums on President Donald Trump’s unprecedented and combustible second-term agenda.
While Democrats have long dominated federal and state legislative elections in blue-leaning New Jersey, Republicans are very competitive in gubernatorial contests, winning five out of the past 10 elections.

And Trump made major gains in New Jersey in last year’s presidential election, losing the state by only six percentage points, a major improvement over his 16-point deficit four years earlier.
Ciattarelli, interviewed by Fox News Digital last week in Bayonne, New Jersey, noted that he «made big gains» in his 2021 showing «in Hudson County and Passaic County,» two long-time Democratic Party strongholds.
«And the President did very, very well in ’24 in those very same counties. And if you take a look at who’s been endorsing me, including some very prominent Democrats here in Hudson County, people want change,» Ciattarelli emphasized.
But Ciattarelli is also aiming to energize Republican base voters in what’s likely to be a low-turnout election.
Multiple sources confirmed to Fox News that Trump will hold a tele-rally with Ciattarelli ahead of Election Day. Trump’s teaming up with Ciattarelli may help energize MAGA supporters, many of whom are low propensity voters who often skip casting ballots in non-presidential election years.

And last week, Ciattarelli was joined at a jam-packed diner stop in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, by Vivek Ramaswamy, the MAGA rock star who is running for governor next year in his home state of Ohio.
Ramaswamy, the multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur and conservative commentator who pushed an «America First 2.0» platform as he ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination before ending his bid and becoming one of Trump’s top supporters and surrogates, told Fox News Digital that a Ciattarelli win this year would «set the table for even bigger and more decisive victories, hopefully in places like Ohio next year.»
And this week another well-known Republican politician in MAGA world is headed to New Jersey.
Fox News has learned the Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, a top House ally of the president who has Trump’s backing as he runs next year for Florida governor, will team up with Ciattarelli on Wednesday.

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin, commenting on why Republicans feel bullish about the New Jersey showdown, raised concerns.
«New Jersey is the best place, probably, for Donald Trump to actually stop the Democratic momentum — or at least minimize the Democratic momentum that we’ve seen throughout this year,» Martin said in a Politico interview.
But the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) forecasts a Sherrill victory in two weeks.
«As numerous polls show her holding a strong lead and earning more than 50% of the vote, Mikie Sherrill is rising to meet the moment in this incredibly competitive race,» DGA spokesperson Izzi Levy told Fox News. «It’s clear that Mikie has the momentum, and that New Jersey voters are all-in to reject Ciattarelli for a third time this November.»
Sherrill had plenty of company on the campaign trail this weekend from major Democratic Party surrogates, including two of the biggest names in the party — Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Wes Moore of Maryland.

«From Maryland to New Jersey, we’re united with one goal – making sure every voice is heard at the ballot box,» Moore wrote on social media. «Proud to stand with @MikieSherrill and community members in Newark to get out the vote. Let’s finish strong this November!»
And former President Barack Obama endorsed Sherrill and starred in a new ad for the party’s nominee.
CIATTARELLI WELCOMES TRUMP’S HELP IN FINAL STRETCH IN BATTLE FOR NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR
While Trump isn’t on the ballot, he’s loomed large over the New Jersey gubernatorial election.
At the second and final debate two weeks ago, Sherrill charged that her GOP rival had «shown zero signs of standing up to this president. In fact, the president himself called Jack 100% MAGA, and he’s shown every sign of being that.»

Asked whether he considered himself part of the MAGA movement, Ciattarelli said he was «part of a New Jersey movement.»

When asked to grade the president’s performance so far during his second term, Ciattarelli said, «I’d certainly give the president an A. I think he’s right about everything that he’s doing.»
«I think that tells us all we need to know about who Jack Ciattarelli’s supporting. I give him an F right now,» Sherrill responded, as she pointed to New Jersey’s high cost of living.

The race in New Jersey was rocked a couple of weeks ago by a report that the National Personnel Records Center, which is a branch of the National Archives and Records Administration, mistakenly released Sherrill’s improperly redacted military personnel files, which included private information like her Social Security number, to a Ciattarelli ally.
But Sherrill’s military records indicated that the United States Naval Academy blocked her from taking part in her 1994 graduation amid a cheating scandal.
The showdown was jolted again two weeks ago after Sherrill’s allegations that Ciattarelli was «complicit» with pharmaceutical companies in the opioid deaths of tens of thousands of New Jerseyans, as she pointed to the medical publishing company he owned that pushed content promoting the use of opioids as a low-risk treatment for chronic pain.
Last week, Trump set off a political hand grenade in the race, as he «terminated» billions of federal dollars for the Gateway Project, which is funding a new train tunnel under the Hudson River connecting New Jersey and New York.
Sherrill, holding a news conference Thursday at a major commuter rail station just a few miles from the site of the tunnels in one of the busiest train corridors in the nation, called the project «critical» as she took aim at Trump and Ciattarelli.
«I’m fighting for the people of New Jersey. He’s fighting to excuse Trump. It’s unacceptable,» Sherrill charged.

New Jersey traditionally elects a governor from the party out of power in the White House, which this year favors the Democrats.
But Garden State voters haven’t elected a governor from the same party in three straight elections in over a half century, which would favor the Republicans.
One of those political trends will be busted in next month’s election.
