The image captures a pivotal moment in history as Canadian troops, alongside British and Free Norwegian Forces, make their daring landing on the remote Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. As part of Operation Gauntlet, these brave soldiers embarked on an Allied Combined Operation that lasted from August 25th until September 3rd. Their mission was to secure this strategic outpost located in the Svalbard Archipelago, approximately 650 miles south of the North Pole.
