Officials reported that a man and two juveniles were extracted from the debris of a small aircraft near Homer, Alaska, which had been noted as overdue the previous night.

The Alaska State Troopers received notification around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday that a Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser airplane had not arrived at its intended destination.

It was suspected that the plane could be located in the Kenai Mountains and Tustumena Lake, which are located east of Homer.

Rescue operations commenced immediately, engaging the Rescue Coordination Center and Coast Guard AC-130, with an Air Guard C-130 and HH-60 helicopter on standby.

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey have been studying the glaciers in the area since 1966 and their studies show that the warming climate has resulted in sustained glacial mass loss as melting outpaced the accumulation of new snow and ice.

Troopers noted that all three people who were rescued from the wreckage were immediate family members.

The 60,000-acre Tustumena Lake has been described by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as “notorious for its sudden dangerous winds.”

Homer is a Kenai Peninsula community located about 220 miles (354 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
