- Captain Adam White of the Northwest Explorer reported the water was 10 degrees Celsius when his crew spotted the teen four miles from St. Lawrence Island and hauled him aboard.
- The teen's brother and cousin died during the incident; rescuers transported the survivor, who exhibited hypothermia symptoms, to Nome for medical treatment.
