This Tuesday, April 12, 2016, photo provided by the Alaska Air National Guard shows clear weather atop the Harding Ice Field in Alaska. A four-man Alaska Air National Guard rescue team was dropped off on the ice field on Monday, to help rescue skiers, Christopher Hanna and Jennifer Neyman, who were stranded on the glacier and hunkered down in a snow cave. Poor weather prevented a helicopter from landing, and could only drop this team off about 15 miles away. The guard rescue team skied to about 1.7 miles of the two survivors when weather cleared enough for a helicopter to land and take the two people to a hospital.
