Search and rescue operations double in Norway | IceNews - Daily News

Search and rescue operations double in Norway | IceNews - Daily News: Norwegian authorities have reported a major surge in the number of search and rescue efforts in the Scandinavian country.

Officials from the Norwegian Red Cross said that around 1,000 people have required rescue over each of the past several years, nearly double the figure seen in previous years.

Experts say that although outdoor activities and mountaineering have long been part of Norwegian society, many enthusiasts are pushing their own limits and often do not fully understand the risks.
