In the east of Russia, a group of rescue workers braved freezing waters to save four orcas that were trapped in the ice. The orcas got stucked in the ice during the night.
The rescue team took a small boat to reach the whales, that were at 50 or 100 meters away from the coastline. They removed the ice to create gaps big enought to aloud the whales swim throught them. The rescue team was working during several hours and they managed to get three of the four whales, one of those three was a calf, to open waters.
The rescuers stayed with the fourth orca in order to protect it fromthe ice until higher waters allowed it to join the other orcas
