Environmental Journalist Alec Luhn Missing Following Hike in Norway

On July 31, 2025, Alec Luhn, 38, US-born environmental journalist, went missing after last being seen in Folgefonna National Park, southwestern Norway.
Solo trip plans from Odda to the Folgefonna glacier prompted concern after he missed a meeting at Bergen Airport on Monday and lost contact with his family.
A team of 30 searchers plus drones, police and police dogs are combing the terrain, but heavy rainfall and rising river levels have halted the operation as of Monday night.
On Tuesday at daybreak, police called on the public to share any sightings as rescue teams resumed efforts to cover the Folgefonna terrain, urging anyone with information to come forward.
The case underscores risks journalists face in remote, high-risk regions, with Luhn’s disappearance drawing attention due to his award-winning climate reporting and plans to mentor students at University of Wisconsin–Madison next year.
