JUNEAU, Ala. — 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 east of the 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, troopers said.

U.S. Army helicopters had been expected to “extract” the individuals Friday morning, troopers had said. But a Coast Guard helicopter was able to make the trip from Nome after overcoming mechanical issues and getting a weather window, said Petty Officer 1st Class Ali Blackburn, a Coast Guard spokesperson.

“Safely extracting the group as quickly as possible was a top priority for all of the agencies involved,” said Austin McDaniel, a troopers spokesperson.

Blackburn said no injuries were reported at the time of the rescue. Blackburn said the individuals were taken to Nome.

KYUK Public Media reported the group was composed of hunters that got stuck on their way home.
