The ship had been stuck at the world’s largest national park since Tuesday.
Officials said the expedition cruise ship that ran aground in earlier this week with more than 200 people on board wouldn’t be able to be rescued until Friday morning at the earliest – but help came early. On Thursday morning, the Joint Arctic Command said that it has been freed.
„Ocean Explorer has been pulled free this morning by the Natural Institute’s fishing research ship TARAJOQ,“ the command said on Facebook Thursday morning, according to a translation.
