American citizens arrive onshore after being evacuated from the M/V Hondius in the Granadilla Port on Sunday in Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands, Spain.

Passengers are returning to their home countries after weeks on the ship at the center of a hantavirus outbreak. Most of the Americans aboard are headed for Nebraska to be evaluated by health officials.
