JUNEAU, Alaska—A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter late Thursday rescued seven people who had been iced in since last week at a cabin about 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of the Yukon River community of Emmonak in western Alaska, the Alaska State Troopers reported.
The group was “adequately supplied with food, water, shelter, and necessary supplies” before they were rescued Thursday night, troopers said.
