A 42-year-old American tourist was fund frozen to death at the weekend in a trench 300 metres from the hamlet of Kangerlussuaq, according to knr.gl.

“The man froze to death and we don’t know exactly what happened. Another tourist found him on Sunday morning,” says Kangerlussuaq Station Police Chief Lars Grunnet.

Temperatures in the area were reported to be minus 16 degrees centigrade over the weekend.

The man, who has not been named, arrived in Kangerlussuaq last Friday and was to have flown on to Copenhagen today.

The man’s family has been informed by the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen.
