A CANADIAN village leader says about a dozen killer whales that were trapped under sea ice appear to have reached safety after the floating ice shifted on Hudson Bay.
Tommy Palliser said two hunters from Inukjuak village reported the water had opened up around the area where the cornered whales had been bobbing frantically for air.
Locals said the mammals had been trapped around a single, truck-sized breathing hole for at least two days.
Palliser said villagers had been planning to launch a rescue operation on Thursday.
But he said the winds seemed to shift overnight, pushing the floating ice further away from shore to open up the water.
Mayor Peter Inukpuk had urged the Canadian government to send an icebreaker.
