Cruise ship pulled free after running aground in Greenland
A luxury cruise ship that ran aground this week in a remote part of Greenland with 206 people on board was pulled free by a fishing trawler on Thursday.
The Ocean Explorer cruise vessel had been stuck since Monday in mud and silt in the Alpefjord national park, some 1,400 km (870 miles) northeast of Greenland’s capital Nuuk.
“We have just successfully become free now. … We are absolutely elated,” Gina Hill, an Australian passenger on board the ship, told Reuters on Thursday.
