Four children who were feared dead after going missing in a blizzard in western Alaska on Sunday have been found alive.

The youngsters are all suffering from severe hypothermia and were said to be ‘cold, hungry and tired’. 

Incredibly, the children aged 14, 8, 7 and 2, were found by searchers at around 4.25pm on Monday around 18 miles south of Nunam Iqua, a remote community of 190 people in western Alaska.

The children, 14-year-old Christopher Johnson, 8-year-old Frank Johnson, 7-year-old Ethan Camille, and two-year-old Trey Camille had been outdoors to ride on a snow machine but failed to return back at 1pm when they had been expected.

Alaska State Troopers were then informed about the kids disappearance and a search party was launched. 

Mother to three of the boys, Karen Camille, says the children went out to take a short ride when weather suddenly took a turn for the worse. The other child is Camille’s brother. 

‘It became an hour and the weather started being bad, and that’s when we called for someone to go out and look,’ she said.

Coast Guard and Army National Guard helicopters were sent out along with search-and-rescue groups from neighboring villages to help look for the children.

In the end, the search had to be called off at around 2am on Monday morning after visibility was reduced after a blizzard hit the area.

But the children survived the frigid temperatures by finding a shelter in which to spend the night, only to be rescued on Monday afternoon.  

‘It immediately brought me to tears,’ father to some of the missing children Alphonso Thomas told KTUU. ‘I never would have thought that he would make it. Being two and with weather like that, people usually don’t make it … tough kids, all of them.’
