As the search continues for 38-year-old US climate journalist Alec Luhn, who disappeared while hiking in Norway's Folgefonna National Park, rescue crews are determined to bring him back safely. Alec set off from Odda on July 31 and was supposed to return in time for a flight home, but when he failed to show up, his wife, Veronika Silchenko, reported him missing.
The rescue efforts have been complicated by adverse weather, hindering helicopter operations, yet teams on the ground are utilizing dogs and drones for the search, according to Ingeborg Thorsland from the Norwegian Red Cross. Veronika described Alec as an adept outdoorsman with a passion for exploring extreme climates, motivated by his work in climate journalism to visit rapidly shrinking glaciers around the world.
Currently residing in London, Alec has a rich history of reporting for major outlets such as the BBC, The Atlantic, National Geographic, and CBS, often focusing on pressing climate issues like the "zombie" fires in Canada. As hope endures, Luhn's family and friends await news about his safe return.
