"Killer Whales Struggle for Survival in Ice Off Japan's Coast"
TL;DR Summary
A pod of at least 10 orcas is trapped in drift ice off the coast of Japan near Rausu, Hokkaido, with drone footage showing the animals tightly packed and gasping for air. The coast guard is unable to launch a rescue operation due to the thickness of the ice, and local media reports that a similar incident in 2005 resulted in the deaths of nine orcas in the same area.
