190907-N-UR565-0381 CRETE, Greece (Sept. 7, 2019) The White Mountains and Souda Bay provided
inspiring scenery for kayakers during the 18th Annual Eco-Challenge held Sept. 7, 2019, on Crete’s
Akrotiri Peninsula. Naval Support Activity Souda Bay hosts the Eco‐Challenge, an outdoor sports
competition that builds camaraderie and strengthens the relationship with NATO and Hellenic military
partners. Teams of five competed in five different timed activities (16K run, 10K hike to include 15
percent of the hiker’s body weight, 40K bike, 6K kayak and 2,000 meter swim). NSA Souda Bay is an
operational ashore base that enables U.S., allied, and partner nation forces to be where they are needed
and when they are needed to ensure security and stability in Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia. (Photo
