A Boat Got Trapped in Alaska’s Moving Ice — Then the Coast Guard Flew 800 Miles

A boat got trapped in Alaska’s moving ice near Chefornak, leaving four people stranded for more than 24 hours. To reach them, the Coast Guard had to fly more than 800 miles through darkness, snow, icing, mountains, and freezing conditions. This is the true story of a dangerous Arctic rescue, a trapped boat, and the helicopter crew that refused to let the ice decide the ending.
