Summary
| Description |
English: Icecap - Diagnostic cables snake their way across the desert landscape towards the Icecap tower in the background, which houses the diagnostic cannister. One of three ground zeros planned for 1993 (the others were Gabbs in Area 2 and Greenwater in Area 19) that still remain in place. Icecap was a planned Los Alamos National Laboratory underground nuclear test, scheduled for the spring of 1993; however, all operations ceased with the announcement of the testing moratorium. The tower is 152-feet tall. Inside, a 500,000 pound diagnostic cannister is suspended from the top of the tower. The test was to have been in the 20-to-150-kiloton range and would have been conducted 1,557 feet underground. |
