The U.S. Coast Guard successfully rescued four seal hunters trapped on an ice floe near Chefornak, Alaska, after they were stranded for over 24 hours. Their boat became stuck on the ice, preventing them from reaching a rescue party on shore. Fortunately, the hunters had satellite communication equipment, enabling them to contact rescuers directly. The Coast Guard deployed an HC-130 search aircraft and an MH-60 helicopter from Air Station Kodiak to conduct the rescue.
