Tuesday, February 15, 2011  

Two Inuit teens are recovering after surviving four days in below-freezing temperatures in the tundra of northern Quebec.

Isajah Nastapoka, 15, and Kasudluak Kasudluak, 17, got lost while hunting for polar bears. They had no food or water but managed to stay alive in -31 degree Fahrenheit weather.

Nastapoka walked nearly 50 miles in an attempt to find help before he took shelter in a hole he dug in the snow. Kasudluak was still walking when rescue crews found him.
