This is the best summary I could come up with:
COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A Bahamas-flagged Norwegian cruise ship with 206 passengers and crew has run aground in northwestern Greenland, authorities said Tuesday, adding that no one on board was in danger and no damage has been reported.
The 343-foot long and 60 foot wide Ocean Explorer ran aground on Monday in Alpefjord in the Northeast Greenland National Park.
It’s the world’s largest and most northerly national park and is known for icebergs and the musk oxen that roam the coast.
Authorities have been in contact with another cruise ship in the area and it had been asked to remain nearby to assist should the situation develop.
The grounded cruise ship might also get free on its own when the tide is high, Greenland television KNR reported.
Later Tuesday the Joint Arctic Command said on its Facebook page that the ship was still stuck despite the tide.
