Wasn't there a Drew Barrymore movie about this (based on true events from Alaska in the 1980s)?
I think their solution was to cut breathing holes in a line out to open water to lure the whales, and then a Russian icebreaker finished the job.
The story there was that it was a family of whales and the baby was sick and couldn't migrate, so the parents stayed with it until it died. At that point, the bay was frozen.
