– People in the area have expressed concern to police that something may have happened to the person in question, as the car has been here for a long time, says police operations manager Stian Fagervoll Meek.
The man must be in his 60s and from Møre og Romsdal.
Bad weather and fog meant that the helicopter was not used in the search operation Tuesday night.
– People look at the ground. It’s a completely impossible flight climate for a helicopter, Meek said Tuesday.
Rescue dogs from the Red Cross and Norway assisted in the search operation.

Red Cross teams and Norwegian rescue dogs helped search for the man around the parking lot and on the trails in the area, but for safety reasons they had to surrender when it got dark.
