American Climate Journalist Found Alive After Norway Glacier Search

Alec Luhn, an award-winning American climate journalist, was found alive after going missing during a solo hiking trip on the Folgefonna glacier in Norway. He was rescued by helicopter and taken to a hospital with leg injuries. Luhn, known for his work with outlets like The New York Times, National Geographic, and The Atlantic, had been on the backpacking trip to explore the glacier, a location significant to his climate change reporting. His wife, Veronica Silchenko, had raised the alarm when he missed his scheduled flight back to the UK, prompting a search hampered initially by bad weather and high water levels. The Norwegian Red Cross and local authorities conducted extensive search efforts using drones, canines, and climbing groups. Luhn is an experienced outdoorsman passionate about glaciers and climate issues, which motivated his expedition to one of Norway's largest glaciers.
