"Killer Whales Trapped in Sea Ice off Japan's Northern Coast: Drone Video Captures Struggle"

A pod of at least 10 killer whales is 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 to breathe in a small gap between ice flows, with declining sea ice levels attributed to global warming. This situation is reminiscent of a 2005 incident where a group of killer whales trapped in drift ice off the same coast later died.
