- Title Trapped Orcas Fight For Survival In Drift Ice Off Japanese Coast
- Summary A group of killer whales seemed ensnared by some drift ice off Japan's coast but recent developments suggest they have managed to break free. Drone footage captured the sight of at least 10 orcas stranded roughly half a mile (0.8km) from Rausu shores, situated in Hokkaido. The creatures appeared tightly clustered together, their heads popping out of the water as they sought air. Unfortunately, thick ice hindered the coast guard from initiating a rescue mission, as disclosed by a local official to public broadcaster NHK.
