At an altitude of 6000 metres (19,685 feet) Royal Marines of M Company, 42 Commando trudge through deep snow during Exercise Himalayan Warrior 07 amidst the stunning scenery of the Himalayan mountain range in India.

Occasionally tethered to each other in the face of treacherous deep crevasses, the men were part of the first contingent of British Forces to train on the ground with Indian troops in over 60 years.

Guided by the Royal Marines own specialised Mountain Leaders, the exercise was used to practice cliff top assaults and improve drills for operating on ice.

Royal Marines performed a stunning sunset parachute drop over Denmark as the UK’s key military deployment of the spring moves up a gear.

Leaping from just 800 feet, the men of the elite Pre-Landing Force, 30 Commando, landed outside the small town of Varde in western Jutland.

After a 90-minute flight in a C130 Hercules from RAF Brize Norton, the Plymouth-based commandos jumped over their dropzone using special low-level parachutes, landing on their target with pinpoint accuracy at twilight.

The drop is just one element in the opening stages of the two-month-long Baltic Protector deployment, led by Britain and involving more than half a dozen nations which border either the Baltic or North Seas.
