A London investment banker has been missing for two weeks after disappearing on a solo trek in Greenland.
Romeo Cheung, 27, who works for Canadian company RBC in the City, left the UK for Iceland on July 7, it has been reported.
The University of Hong Kong graduate was last heard from when he called his family before boarding a helicopter in Ilulissat in western Greenland to take a tour of the country’s glaciers.
He was last seen on July 14 and police launched a search operation days later after being alerted by the mathematician’s family.
According to The South China Morning Post, a Facebook page set up in the search for Mr Cheung – which has since been deleted - said he had a tent and food for a trek from Sisimiut to Kangerlussuaq, also in western Greenland.
However, it is believed he is without his luggage as it was lost by his airline.
It added that he planned to return to London on July 17 and to work the following day, but failed to show up.
As there was no report of any helicopter crash, it was assumed Mr Cheung went missing while trekking an 'Arctic route' - which should take a person of reasonable fitness nine to 11 days to complete.
A source with knowledge of the case told the newspaper that his elder brother flew to Greenland on July 21 after meeting representatives from the Chinese embassy in Denmark and local authorities to learn the latest development.
It was understood local authorities have launched an air and land search for Mr Cheung using helicopters in Greenland.
