Killer Whales Trapped in Frozen Canadian Bay
Typically not in the area at this time of the year
A remote Quebec fishing village has asked Canada's government to help free a dozen killer whales trapped in a vast stretch of ice inside Hudson Bay.
Locals in Inukjuak, 900 miles (1,500km) north of Montreal, say the whales are breathing through a hole in the ice.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada said it is sending a team on Thursday to evaluate the situation.
