Yep, it's still there. They will probably fix what ever brought it down, then wait for the tundra to freeze and fly it out on the floats. It's on National Wildlife Refuge land so they will probably want a certain depth of snow on the ground before that is tried so as not to damage any more tundra.

You can try to read more about it here, but since our local paper thought it would be cute to require people to setup an account to read certain articles, you may not be able to access the article until you register an account:
