A pod of orcas appeared to be trapped by drift sea ice off the coast of Japan's northern island of Hokkaido on Tuesday.

The fate of the orcas, popularly known as killer whales, remains uncertain as local officials tell Japanese public broadcaster NHK they have no choice but to wait for the ice to break up naturally.

The trapped orcas were first spotted by a local fisherman Tuesday morning, who alerted Japan Coast Guard officials.

A similar incident occurred in the same area in 2005, according to NHK, when nine orcas reportedly died after being trapped in drift ice.
