Do you mean the three Californian grey whales that were trapped under the ice for three weeks until being freed by Eskimos and Russians? If so, it happened way back in 1988. The three were called Crossbeak, Bonnet and Bone, although, sadly, Bone, the smallest and weakest of the trio, died before the Russians were able to smash open the ice, which set the other two free.
