Killer whales trapped in Quebec sea ice

A community in Quebec's Far North is calling for outside help to free about a dozen killer whales trapped under a vast stretch of sea ice.

Locals in Inukjuak said the mammals have gathered around a single hole in the ice -- slightly bigger than a pickup truck -- in a desperate bid to get oxygen.

Mayor Peter Inukpuk urged the Canadian government Wednesday to send an icebreaker as soon as possible to crack open the ice and help them find open water. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans said it is sending officials to assess the situation.

Kind of an odd situation. I cant imagine its common that a group of killer whales could find themself in an area that small that freezes quick enough to capture them. Neutral

There was a movie made about this type of incident. They made holes and lured the guys out to sea
