During the Cold War, Naval Air Station Keflavik played an important role in monitoring marine and submarine traffic from the Norwegian and Greenland Seas into the Atlantic Ocean.
Durante a segunda guerra mundial e a guerra fría, a estación aeronáutica de Keflavik xogou un papel moi importante como controlador do trafico mariño e submarino dende os mares de Noruega e da Groenlandia ata o océano Atlántico.
