Award-winning climate journalist Alec Luhn, who went missing during a solo hike on a Norwegian glacier on Thursday, has been found safe.

Luhn's wife, Veronika Silchenko, told CBS News he has a leg injury but is in good condition.

"I think it's a miracle. I'm so grateful to all the people who were involved in the rescue," Silchenko said. "It's the best day of my life."

The journalist left for a hike on July 31 in Odda, in southwestern Norway, and shared his location. When he didn't show up for his flight back home to the U.K. on Monday night, his family called the police.
