    A group of approximately 13 military personnel in camouflage uniforms pose for a group photo in front of a Norwegian flag on a flagpole. The setting appears to be a remote, rugged coastal landscape with black volcanic terrain, green moss, and a body of water with mountains in the background, consistent with Iceland or a Nordic location. The overcast sky and cold-weather gear suggest harsh environmental conditions.

    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.
