   Did the whales swam out the icebreaker track?

   • Ultimately, Craig said, the real story’s ending isn’t quite as picture-perfect as the one in “Big Miracle” – no one actually knows whether the whales made it out or not. “We know that the whales swam out the icebreaker track, because their blood was found on ice shards,” he said.
