    Is it possible to attach bags or containers of SALT to the drones which are opened or unlatched via remote control to then fall on the ice to melt it along a path to the open sea? The salt can also make new holes a mile apart for the orcas to breathe through as they travel, and the holes would also point them in the right direction.

      ​@@deadbody810whether you like orcas or not, their excrement (poop) is food for phytoplankton. Phytoplankton makes the majority of oxygen on the planet. The more large oceanic mammals die, become endangered, or extinct, the less breathable air there is on the planet. We need their numbers to improve and stabilize or it's going to be a problem for every living thing on earth, not just seals and such.

      No it's not. Orcas can hold their breath up to 15 minutes. It happened before that some orcas died because the next hole in the ice was too far away from where they were trapped.. so no, it's not bizarre. These ones they found a way somehow.. but others were not so lucky in the past. It's not a normal situation.. but if it happens one time in a million.. I hope this one in a million time people take it seriously and don't think it's bizarre, maybe it's the difference between save them or let them die because of ignorance

      It is the most ignorant comment I made in UA-cam that I remember, but I'll let it there, some people can have the same compulsory thought.
      Orcas are marine mammals, so, despite the looks they need a lot of open air.
      They live a whole life in water but are "bound" to the surface.
      So a icebreaker boat could save their lives.
