In Their Own Words: Slipped Off a Glacier | 1

About this episode

Alec Luhn shares his harrowing experience of slipping off a glacier and the challenges he faced while trapped in a remote area.

In July of 2025, climate reporter Alec Luhn was in his element hiking around a glacier in Norway’s Folgefonna National Park. But when Alec slipped off a boulder and broke his leg, he found himself unable to move and trapped in a remote area with no one expecting him home for days. On this episode of In Their Own Words, Alec recounts the story of his fall, being caught in a storm, and doing everything he could to give himself a chance to see his family again.  To follow Alec’s work, subscribe to his newsletter: https://icemushroom.substack.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
