Wreck found.

According to NRK.no the wreck is found by the Norwegian Cost Guard ca two kilometers NE of Kapp Heer , the Russian Heli base.

The ROW Hugin has located the wreck at 209 meters next to Barentsburg, the Russian Mining town at the Norwegian Island of Svalbard.

A Russian rescue and salvage team of 40, just landed in Langyearbyen and are assisting the Norwegian efforts.
The Norwegian "NTSB" is in charge of the investigation.

HRS, The Main Rescue Sentral of Norway is now giving the responsibility to the Police as it is no longer a search for survivors..............
