Otherwise the whales will die here waiting.

Let's start cutting holes every 60 ft.

But what makes you think they're going to follow our path?

We have no choice but to try.

Mm.

All right.

The struggle to save three gray whales took an unexpected turn as local Eskimos began the daunting task of cutting a path of breathing holes five miles long, their hope to lure the whales to open water.

There appears to be no other option for the trapped whales.

And to many, the Eskimos audacious plan seems insane.

But with a few chainsaws and a prayer, hopefully these three unfortunate giants will be free again soon.

Yes.
