The home of the weather reports.
All trough the war a meterological station has been in operation on the small Norwegian island of Jan Mayen.
It is situated far north in the Arctic Ocean between Greenland and the north of Norway. This outpost guarded by a small garrison of Norwegian troops, has, through its meterological obeservations, been one of the most important stations for weather reports for convoys crossing the north Atlantic to America and Russia and has played a vital part in the fight for the domination of yhe seas.
This picture gives a good impression of the scenery of the island. In the foreground can be seen wreckage and timber washed up on the beach, the only kind of wood there is in the island.
