Stokkenes Peninsula, near the town of Hofn, in the southeastern corner of Iceland was the location for H-3. This site was unique in the history of USAF Radar site in that over the course of its operational life from 1956 till 1988, this site logged more active intercepts than any other USAF AC&W Radar site in the world. This was due in large part to the U.S.S.R's military operations in the Murmask and Archangel area of northern Russia.
