Journalist Alec Luhn Safe After Disappearance on Norwegian Glacier

Celebrated climate reporter Alec Luhn, who vanished while exploring a glacier in Norway alone last Thursday, has been located safely.

Luhn's wife, Veronika Silchenko, shared with CBS News that while Luhn suffers from a leg injury, he remains in good spirits.

"I consider it nothing short of a miracle," Silchenko expressed. "I'm immensely thankful to everyone involved in the rescue. Today's joy is unparalleled."

Luhn embarked on his journey on July 31 from Odda in southwest Norway, and had communicated his whereabouts. Concern arose when he didn't board his scheduled flight back to the UK on Monday night, prompting his family to notify law enforcement.

While awaiting a discussion with medical professionals regarding his leg condition, Silchenko expressed gratitude to the Norwegian rescue crews for finding him.

Specifics of the rescue operation have yet to be disclosed.

Although he now resides in London, Luhn hails from Wisconsin. His journalistic contributions span several prominent outlets such as The Atlantic, National Geographic, The New York Times, Scientific American, TIME, CBS News Radio, and VICE News TV.
