The Danish Defence continues its increased presence in Greenland and, over the coming period, is conducting the exercise Arctic Endurance in the Arctic and the North Atlantic together with NATO Allies.

Exercise Arctic Endurance continues to develop. In the past week, several NATO countries have conducted initial planning visits to Greenland.
