Skiers stranded for days fought claustrophobia in snow cave
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Two skiers stranded for four nights on an Alaska ice field braved cold and hunger but also claustrophobia as the ceiling of snow cave they dug for shelter sagged close to their faces.
Hanna and Neyman flew to the Harding Ice Field on April 8 for a day of cross-country skiing but strong winds and snow prevented a plane from picking them up.
