Keflavík is a town of around 10,200 inhabitants in the Reykjanes region in southwest Iceland. It has now merged with Njarðvík and Hafnir to form a municipality called Reykjanesbær. The local geography is dominated by fields of basalt rubble, interspersed with a few hardy plants and mosses. On a clear day, one can see Reykjavík across the bay, some 50 km away. In Iceland, the town was renowned as a rich source of musicians during the 1960s and 70s, and is therefore also known as bítlabærinn or "The Beatle Town".
During WWII and 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. During the Cold War, forces from the United States Air Force were added to provide radar monitoring, fighter intercept, in-flight refueling, and aerial/marine rescue. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, the base's role was cast into doubt, as there was little threat from Russian long-range bombers or from hostile submarines carrying SLBMs passing through the North Sea into the Atlantic. The base officially closed on September 30, 2006, as the United States withdrew the remaining 30 military personnel.
