Almost exactly like the movie Big Miracle, only it's killer whales and a bunch more of them. Hope they can find a way to get them out.

Time is running short for a pack of killer whales trapped by ice near a small Canadian village on Hudson Bay, the town's mayor said Wednesday.
The 11 whales are confined in a space of about 50 feet by 50 feet, where they use an opening for a breathing hole, Inukjuak Mayor Petah Inukpuk said.
The orcas were discovered Tuesday morning by a northern Quebec seal hunter. The two large and nine smaller killer whales are at least 6 miles (10 kilometers) from open water, Inukpuk said. They appear to be part of a family pack, he said.
The Canadian government is sending experts to the scene Thursday to see whether the orcas can be saved, CNN affiliate CBC reported.
