A small plane crashed into an ice lake in Alaska, USA, a few days ago, the pilot and two underage girls survived the night in sub-zero temperatures, and were rescued after waiting for about 12 hours, and none of the three were in danger of life.

飛行員的朋友23日晚上10時30分左右報告這架飛機失聯，阿拉斯加陸軍國民警衛隊24日上午10時30分左右在特斯特米納湖東部找到失事飛機，救起機上人員並將他們送往醫院。

Photographs taken by search and rescue crews show the plane floating on the surface of the lake and not disintegrating, with the three remaining on the wings before being rescued (below).

The pilot once fell into the water and had hypothermia symptoms when rescued; The two girls did not fall into the water, but the temperature was less than zero degrees Celsius that night, and the cold wind was still blowing on the lake, and the clothes they were wearing were not enough to protect them from the cold. Rescuers said the trio were lucky because the tail of the plane froze on the surface of the lake after it fell into the water, so that the fuselage could avoid sinking into the lake.

According to the Associated Press, the two girls, who are elementary and middle school age, are "immediate relatives" of the male pilot and are flying for sightseeing.

The cause of the fall of the plane is yet to be investigated.
