Royal Marines have arrived in the high north for their first test on the UK’s new mission to defend the Arctic…
The elite commandos are training hundreds of miles inside the Arctic Circle for the next two months, honing their survival and combat skills in temperatures as low as -30°C alongside NATO allies. The Royal Marines – the UK’s cold weather warfare experts – have operated in this region for half a century and are spearheading Britain’s strategy to defend the Arctic.
