A
pod
of
killer
whales
was
found
surfacing
through
a
breathing
hole
in
the
ice
of
Hudson
Bay
,
Quebec
.
The
whales
were
____________________
turns
rising
up
through
a
single
hole
which
was
about
the
size
of
a
pickup
truck
.
The
whales
____________________
have
become
trapped
by
a
late
winter
freeze
.
The
mayor
of
the
remote
community
called
for
an
icebreaker
to
save
the
whales
,
but
none
was
nearby
.
This
incident
was
rare
.
Normally

as
the
ice
moves

and

these

have
stayed
to
feed
on
an
abundant
supply
of
seals

The

found

government
was
