when locals told us about it they said sheep being sheltered in the caves first tunnel when we first came here we did see tracks left by sheep yes that's right i remember the first time i came here we did see tracks left by sheep. the cave extends for more than a kilometer several narrow corridors hide a large central chamber the cave walls are covered in drip stones still lack tights and still like mine it's. the north caucasus largest bat hibernates deep underneath the ground they represent the redbook species the bat and the horseshoe nosed bat more than two thousand bats gather here in the winter they cuddle together in order to survive the cold weather in summer they fly to the foothills and return again in autumn they start preparing for migration in early spring when they split up into

smaller groups. sometimes i find all of the boats covered with jew. they look very nice like covered in tinsel. ok visit closed ecosystem the humidity is one hundred percent and the temperature in the caves is constant which is exactly what bats need humans should avoid staying in the caves for too long as they start to have an impact on the special climate conditions. fuck. you hear them calling. this means we warmed up their confined habitat. if they start flying around they will use up their fat and may not survive until spring. so let's get out of here.

back the rangers run into an unexpected obstacle to our river bed starts to filling with water the water is now blocking their path. a few hours later no vehicle to clear this hurdle the only path to the cave will be gradually immersed in water it will be impossible to use it again before next spring. springs from the glaciers of the greater caucasus mountain range in the length of a nature reserve scientists say more than one hundred mountain streams and springs swiftly replenished with water.

hunting in the reserves prohibited armed rangers make daily rounds of its territory as a rule their routes run through the wooded slopes of mountain gorges. inhabit the foothills unfortunately they still fall easy prey to hunters because they're obvious targets they like grazing in spaces and rarely go uphill. lyn march scattered across the reserve reflect a history of. people first began using caves and overhanging rocks as.

a loans where the ancestors of. they built stone fortifications overlooking the mountain pass so they'd be more easily defensible. in those days even ten. was unable to cross this territory. to the mountain passes and pelted his troops with stones. these tel was built in the middle ages. period dates back to fourteenth or seventeenth century. the most celebrated architectural landmarks of ancient north. they differ in height and shape as a rule extended families lived in short. points and for other defensive turner says the towers were built close to villages and gorges with paths used by troops on foot and on horseback many were extensions of

forbidding clips. rock faces. protection from. was served as. if people manning which tell was in the lowest villages at the entrance to the goal which noticed approaching enemy troops then they would lead. people in so the smoke. was in remote parts of the gorge. in accordance with a long standing tradition. to take no more than a year if builders failed to meet the deadline the structure was pulled down and built a new towers belonging to the same clan were regarded as sanctuaries in due course they became symbols of the clans power and wealth as time went by they turned into veritable objects of worship.

one of the most revered sanctuaries of the people is a medieval architectural site called. located in the gorge one thousand nine hundred meters above sea level. well i can test indicates that here. from here in the tenth or eleventh century. this fence was built a couple of centuries later. initially in orthodox church was here but when orthodoxy grew weaker it wasn't turned into a pagan sanctuary. city to disclose an animal's bite hunters were brought here. scientists don't yet know exactly when the recall was built only logs were used to make it no nails or anything made of.

cars poles support the wooden roof they feature patterns that look like a camel's head resting on a long neck. arrow and spirit heads have been found here according to legend the oldest city in prince tar was kept here. as a day when travelers visiting this place in the eighteenth century saw it. only natural features are destined to be the reserves eternal landmarks. over the centuries water and wind have crafted unique scapes. many of them are hidden from the inquisitive eyes of tourists. only the staff of the nature reserve are aware of their location. this will

file is called the ring it is a unique natural feature of this century it. has broken through line stone beds here to make a hole in the shape of a ring there was a reflector that it forms a rainbow. like this one are rare not only in the caucasus but in the entire world the stone is about two meters wide. its broadest part consists of three layers of limestone the age of the rock is estimated between one hundred and one hundred twenty million years. or more that's . absolutely. i would say it's the standard for natural water. in the limestone of the kerry range there also is crystal clear up to filtering through many kilometers of limestone over.

the current since two canyon with rock terraces grados and knishes begins right under the ring waterfall it took the car to go on mountain stream. thousands of years to force its way through the rock. good through what they do swaying many tones tumble down from cliff tops and terrace hedges a stream of winds are now loops through the stones and blockages this is where trolls. try very clean water for life but it's a rare species in the mountain streams of the caucuses. the canyons must seawalls date back to the dressing period in winter they're covered with heights they're known as we've been walls because of the constantly dripping water in summer.

the reserves melt and streams overflow their banks in early spring but they're not the main threat to the mountain paths rockslide said in with the arrival of warm weather. watchers that so much of i was about to fade and i didn't want to give it really. big bang experiments conducted by the large hadron collider is seen by many as a scientific breakthrough others say to.

which brightened. from fans to impressions. nice clean stuff nazi dot com. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world to join us for technology update on our g.

in spring. of the north. this is the best time for observing. and scientists take. the road leading. with no will have to walk. some. will try to take.

the train. the reserves most. hundred fifty each. usually slides down slowly from the. place. in north.

and. nobody was hit. but the road. will have to go to reach them. sometime. today.

and they have no fear of heights. the east caucasian variety of goats inhabits this reserve it's possible to tell them apart by the shape of their horns. with the flow for. in the form of a partial spiral. like this like it but. it's the right horn to the left and the left horn points to the right. cohesion goats or wild animals. but high in the mountains and they often allow rock climbers to come surprisingly close. at the most of them would do you typically a matter of ten meters do you think those who got used to the presence of people are. quite tolerant of them near the training camps up for rock climbers.

when they camp out for the night up in the mountains. there are many fascinating routes for climbing and to see a switch in the reserve law they often use the cliff faces in glaciers for training any ascent is always fraught with risk. a small cliff is the best place for training and testing out new gear raw. careful as they go down from here. what's that one once phones ourselves in an extreme situation so a strong gusts of wind during our ascent visibility was a me a ten meters in those conditions we couldn't climb down from the top of the

mountain i was a beginner in rock climbing that was my third climb needless to say i was very scared. a wise climber never ventures into the. three climbers is the minimal number. of. summer is the ideal season for challenging climb. in spring climbers examine the best way to get up the mountains work out new routes and compare with its map description. let's try and climb through that snow there and come from the right side through the rock. shooting rock steer. we'll see when we reach the place. let's get going.

climbing even to the lower peaks of the mountain range takes no small effort. at. the climbers have to exert themselves to conquer the flood. in accordance with tradition. rock climbers drink tea with bitter chocolate. to help yourself. but you hear what attracts me to the mountain that's the most difficult question i can think of i don't think any. sports could answer simply i enjoy rock climbing and the beautiful landscape. on the mountains rapidly and in spring the weather could change very quickly the

climbers need to get down as fast as possible. mazes received in. their group reached the top at thirteen forty five when beginning of a descend what's the weather like just fine everything's ok. thanks . the reserve is situated along the buck avoid range where the slopes are steep and rocky some of the peaks are four and a half kilometers above sea level rocks stones in glaciers are scattered all around . discussed the schemers order is situated in the glaciers melt in the sea.

reserve staff get down to the most important work at the height of the springtime ski season they're going to release this small bison herd into the wild for the time being the animals graze in a special pen. these bison have lived in captivity since birth the blood of a wild ox by the name of cub because flows in their veins. was sent to a private nursery after being caught in one thousand nine hundred seven by the russian emperor while on a hunting expedition when all the bison had been exterminated in the north caucasus

it was comes because at the forefront of the restoration of the caucasian bison subspecies. this is a great grandson of theft caused by the name of the dole was born in one thousand nine hundred twenty five as far as i can gather he was the forefather all the caucasian subspecies of the bison in the one nine hundred thirty s. he was taken toscanini in nova nature reserve there he made to do with female bill aris by certain that was the origin of a bison subspecies with cookies in blood. since early this morning reserve staff have been trying to compel the bison to enter special cages for transportation. during their quarantine period animals became accustomed to their pen and learn to trust people so they're in no hurry to go out in the wild. after several and successful attempts one of the females is lurd into the cage now the herd will follow suit

mice and are known for their matriarchal behavior. come on faster. well done. the bison steadfastly endured their temporary captivity all on their way to their new habitat. the return of caucasian bison to the wild is a joint project undertaken by the north the such a nature reserve and the world wildlife fund. there are things ready joey go yes let's go. to the. bison already accustomed to the wild graze nearby. it's not yet known whether they'll accept or reject their newcomers. the forests and the mountains

are beyond human influence. all that's left for the reserve staff to do is monitor the animals and preserve this protected area of the north caucasus.

in the czech republic he's available in. central. most full stop. in bosnia and herzegovina. children of each. hotel. in serbia multis available in.

this. car and this was. before. rage on charred ruins. there's no end in sight to. the wildfires ravaging russia destroyed lives and homes. and a number of. people are trying to leave the city which is still covered by. small. plus the survivors sixty five years since the u.s. dropped. those who have. no other place the same fate.

with us widespread people still raging in russia leaving many cities suffocating blanket of smaug forecasters say president heat wave that's fueling the place is likely to eat. this week the fires have claimed the lives of thousands homeless more than one hundred and fifty thousand people are battling the flames including the russian military extra vehicles and equipment have also been sent in from other countries also use catherine i was out of it is in the moscow region where entire villages were destroyed by fire where one at one of the so-called country of villages just outside moscow where people have their summer homes evidently used to be really nice area there was a forest and people had their homes looking out into that forest it used to be obviously quite a nice place to be right now it looks like an inferno there is no more forest is just charred land and felled trees and here this is actually this used to be

someone's home what's left of it is pretty unrecognizable because it's been charred to a cinder this is somebody's bathtub this is probably where the bathroom used to be all of this house as you can see most of it is just charred remains and from where the firefighters were fighting the blaze and so everything is just strewn around this is part of a car there is a completely burned out car in the garage this is obviously a part of it we don't quite know how it got there and why just a little bit over there that was probably the bedroom because we can see the charred remains of bed lying down there and this was evidently the kitchen there is the remains of us and some other kitchen paraphernalia like kitchen utensils and various other things so this was somebody whose home people live there and people accumulated their possessions and they lost all of it in a matter of hours one of the local reza.
