(CNN) Four children who went missing Sunday during a blizzard in rural Alaska have been found.

The children -- the youngest just 2 years old -- were found Monday about 20 miles outside the village of Nunam Iqua, on Alaska's west coast, a representative with Emmonak Search and Rescue told CNN by phone Monday night.

"The kids are doing fine," the representative said. "I talked to the grandpa. They were cold and hungry."

The children were on the way to a local hospital to get "medical clearance," the representative said.
