    A group of approximately 14 military personnel in camouflage uniforms pose for a group photo on elevated terrain beneath a Norwegian flag flying from a tall flagpole. The overcast sky and rugged coastal landscape in the background suggest a cold, northern environment. The personnel appear to be from a joint or multinational military unit, wearing cold-weather gear including beanie hats and gloves.

    U.S. Marines stand together at the historic World War II-era "Atlantic City" site in Jan Mayen, Norway, Aug. 29, 2026. The site visit, conducted during Operation Atlantic City 26, fostered trilateral cohesion among Norwegian, U.S., and British forces while reinforcing the shared heritage and strategic legacy of Arctic operations. Atlantic City 26 is a Norwegian-led trilateral readiness initiative with the United Kingdom and United States designed to develop and demonstrate expeditionary advanced base capabilities and validate combined fires, maritime domain awareness, and sea denial to reinforce the security and stability of the High North. Jan Mayen is sovereign Norwegian territory in an isolated part of the Norwegian Sea, approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from mainland Norway. At the same time, the island occupies an important geostrategic position north of the Greenland-Iceland-U.K. gap, an area of water strategically significant to the defense of the U.S. homeland and northern Europe.
