"Killer Whales Trapped in Ice Off Japan's Coast"
TL;DR Summary
At least 10 killer whales are trapped by sea ice off Japan's Hokkaido island, with officials unable to rescue them and hoping for the ice to break up naturally. Drone footage shows the whales struggling in a small gap between ice flows, with a lack of wind exacerbating the situation. This is not the first time killer whales have been trapped in the area, and declining sea ice levels due to global warming may be contributing to the issue.
