A luxury cruise ship carrying 206 passengers has run aground off the coast of Greenland.
The Ocean Explorer, a 104.4-meter long and 18-meter ship ran aground on Monday near Alpefjord in the Northeast Greenland National Park -- a 375,000 square mile area that is the most northerly national park in the world.
"Our units are far away, and the weather can be very unfavorable," said Cmdr. Brian Jensen of the Joint Arctic Command, according to the Associated Press. The closest Danish navy ship was about 1,380 miles away, Jensen told AP, confirming that Joint Arctic Command were heading to the site and are expected to make contact with the Ocean Explorer on Friday.
