An American hiker who hadn't been heard from for six days during a solo backpacking trip on a glacier in Norway has been found, the local Red Cross said on Wednesday.

Alec Luhn, a 38-year-old journalist and Wisconsin native, didn't make contact with his wife Veronika on Monday when he was due to finish a hike in Folgefonna National Park, in the country's southwest.

The Red Cross, who were part of the rescue operation, said Luhn had been found alive near Folgefonna.

"He was located by helicopter crew and has now been transported for medical treatment,” the organization posted on X.

It was not known what condition Luhn was in.
