In the movie based on the true story of "Operation Breakthrough", they had to lure the whales out 8km before the icebreaker could get them. I breezed over the story here, but I didn't see if they stated how far of a distance it would be in this case.

It was kind of a crappy movie, but the real-life story is interesting. The collaborative effort put forward by the US and USSR government to save the whales at the height of the cold war, and the involvement of a big oil company, Greenpeace, local Inuit and townsfolk... plus the impact it had on whaling bans in the future.

Darn. I was hoping for a narwal brigade to save the day.
