I just read that Japanese officials say that they believe the pod of 13 orcas have been able to escape because slowly the gaps in the sea ice became bigger.

I hope so .. they looked desperate gasping in the drone video I provided below.

This poem was tragic, and you managed to tell the "story" in just eight syllables. The picture brought the poem to life, as well. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

I provided a video below too.

According to Japanese authorities the pod of 13 orcas hopefully found their way out as the gaps between the sea ice got bigger ..

I hope this is the truth.

First seen by a fisherman that alert authorities that sent out a drone that captured their ordeal on video.
