One person was killed when their plane, which took off from Canada, crashed in Greenland, Danish airport authority Naviair announced Monday.
The aircraft, which carried only one person, disappeared from radar on Saturday while flying over the island of Sermitsiaq, north of Greenland’s capital Nuuk, Naviair said over the weekend.
“This morning, the crash site has been located, and unfortunately, there are no survivors,” the airport authority said in a statement.
According to Greenlandic media, the site of the accident had been identified after the weekend’s fog had lifted.
“The plane was found on the Sermitsiaq mountain, but at a location that is currently inaccessible location, which makes it difficult for the authorities to take further action at this time,” Brian Thomsen of the Greenlandic police, told local newspaper Sermitsiaq.
Authorities have not released any information about the identity of the victim.
