Denmark’s Joint Arctic Command says the passengers and crew members are doing fine.
A view of the Ocean Explorer, a Bahamas-flagged Norwegian cruise ship with 206 passengers and crew, which has run aground in northwestern Greenland, on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023.
The scientific fishing vessel was scheduled to arrive later Wednesday and would attempt when the conditions were right to pull the 104.4-meter- long and 18-meter- wide MV Ocean Explorer free. The Ocean Explorer’s crew made two failed attempts to get the ship to float free on its own during high tide.
Dozens of cruise ships sail along Greenland’s coast every year so passengers can admire the picturesque mountainous landscape with fjords, musk oxen, and the waterways packed with icebergs of different sizes and glaciers jutting out into the sea. The weather in the region Wednesday featured sun, a clear blue sky and a temperature around 5 degrees Celsius , according to the Danish Meteorological Institute.
