They had gone part of the trip together, but he was not part of the tour group. The police do not yet know who the person is. Around 4.30 pm, rescue crews on the spot inform that a helicopter has landed on the mountain. There they are waiting for the Alpine rescue group Tromsø to be flown in to assist in the search. A sack must have been found. The search is done in a steep and demanding terrain, where there is still snow. Task leader Frode Lahelle.
