Recovery efforts continue in icy conditions

An Alaska Army National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter lands on top of Colony Glacier near Anchorage, Alaska to pick up personnel as part of Operation Colony Glacier. The operation is a mission to recover human remains and remove debris from a 1952 crash of a U.S. Air Force C-124 Globemaster II on the glacier with 52 servicemembers on board. The recovery effort has taken place every summer since 2012 by personnel from Alaskan Command, the Alaska National Guard, Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, U.S. Army Alaska, 673d Air Base Wing, 3d Wing and Detachment 1, 66 Training Squadron.
