Osprey reported missing

A U.S. MC MV-22B Osprey is reported missing south of Bodo, Norway.
It is taking part in the NATO exercise Cold Response 2022, 4 crew on board.
Search operations are challenging due to the weather conditions.
An ELT was traced to a location about 30 nm due south of Bodø, and the police states that a possible accident site was been spotted from the air.
The conditions are such that the site can only be reached by ground transport, and there are challenges due to the conditions, including avalanche danger and no nearby road.
