A group of over 100 beluga whales has become trapped by ice floes in a strait off the Bering Sea, and the small white whales may soon die without help.

Local authorities have requested that the Russian government send an icebreaker to open a path for the whales.Beluga Whales Trapped in Icy Arctic Waters
