Great article. If you click on the map you can click on each incident and read a report of what happened. Fascinating! Though every land rescue I read about in Alaska was result of a snowmobile breaking down

Interesting stats on the type of rescues.

Is it me, or do the water and snowmobile rescues not get the type of news coverage that lost hikers get? There are a lot more of those than lost hikers.
