Like their other mammalian cousins, the dolphins, they must eventually come up for air. Their blood is able to absorb enough oxygen at each surfacing to allow them to remain below water for 5-20 minutes, but if trapped below ice, they would drown.

The same way every living thing does - food, and not being killed. Those that make it past 'infancy' have few predators. They eat plankton, krill and small fish.
