An update on the situation:
http://www.adn.com/article/20160412/rescue-team-gets-closer-hikers-stranded-kenai-peninsula-glacierIt sounds like they had some sort of tent, which didn't last long in the weather. They are now dug into a snow cave. A PJ team hopes to reach them today. The article says the PJs parachuted in, but I think that is an error. My understanding is they were inserted by helo at a lower elevation (as far up as the helo could get in the weather). It will be interesting to get the whole story after they are rescued.
What does one carry on a glacier day trip? any provision for bad weather that disrupts your schedule?
I would probably start with about the same that one would carry on a day climb of a glaciated peak such as Rainier or Hood. Then add a few extra items because of the remote location. There is always a problem deciding how much to carry on a day trip.
