A 15-year-old boy survived two days at sea in the Bering Sea after his boat capsized, according to Al Jazeera.
A 15-year-old boy was rescued after spending two days clinging to his capsized boat in Alaska's Bering Sea, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The teenager was found after enduring the ordeal in the cold waters off Alaska, the report said. Details on the rescue operation, including which agency carried it out and the exact location and timing of the incident, were not immediately available.
Al Jazeera described the rescue as remarkable given the length of time the boy spent in the water clinging to the overturned vessel.
Further information about the circumstances that led to the boat capsizing, the teenager's condition following the rescue, and any other people who may have been aboard the boat was not provided in the available report.
