Plane Crash in Alaska Claims 10 Lives, Wreckage Found on Sea Ice

The Cessna Caravan disappeared during a flight to Nome, with search efforts hindered by severe weather conditions.

The wreckage of a Cessna Caravan with 10 people on board was located 55 kilometers southeast of Nome, Alaska, on sea ice.
Three bodies were recovered from the plane, with authorities presuming the remaining seven victims are still in the inaccessible wreckage.
The aircraft vanished from radar on Thursday while en route from Unalakleet to Nome, approximately 20 kilometers off the coast.
Severe weather, including snow and temperatures around -12°C, complicated search and recovery efforts involving the Coast Guard and local responders.
This marks the deadliest plane crash in Alaska in 25 years, following two other fatal aviation incidents in the U.S. in late January.
