america's vice president meets the russian. trade. putin on the second day of his first. time to take a fresh air next as we head off on a visit to the striking landscape of russia's north caucasus. among the snowy peaks rocks english years of the greater caucasian mountain range the republic of north the set. high in the mountains where men rarely venture wild nature lives on untouched. the habitat of the caucasian go and other animals is guarding closely here. from the top of the mountains the rivers rush into hundreds of streams which turn

into endless waterfalls. this fanciful landscape attracts many rock climbers they can make their own roof among the rocks chains and mountain tops up to four thousand meters. in spring time the weather here can change several times in a day. it is slowly coming to life snowdrops are the first flowers to welcome the warmth of spring the tiny blossoms lurk in last year's grass. the alligator gorge the unborn river is the reserves mean waterway water is only just beginning to flood its wide bay. in early spring and people use the

river to get to the rocky range where a cave. is situated along a tributary of the larger river nature reserve staff who learned about its existence by chance. when you're not here we had not been aware of its existence for ten years when locals told us about it they said sheep had once been 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 and caves walls are covered in drip stones still are tights and still like markets. in the north caucasus largest hibernates deep underneath the ground they represent the red books

the sheets and mail seared back and the horseshoe nosed bat more than two thousand bats gather here in the winter they cut all 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 and when they split up into smaller groups. sometimes i find all of the butts 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 cumin should avoid staying in the caves for too long as they start to have an impact on the special climate conditions. fuck it got there with a little bit to keep peek at that guys and you hear them calling me you know this

means we've warmed up they're confined habitat. i eat if they start flying around they will use up their fat and may not survive until spring. so let's get out of here. on their way back the rangers run into an unexpected obstacle to our don't riverbed starts to filling with water and water is now blocking their path. a few hours later and no vehicle will be able to clear this hurdle the only path to the cave will be gradually immersed in water and will be impossible to use it again before next spring. they are doing river springs from

the glaciers of the greater caucasus mountain range and runs the length of a nature reserve scientists say more than one hundred nineteen streams and springs swiftly replenished the outer dawn with water. punching in the reserves prohibited armed rangers making daily rounds of its territory as a rule their roots run for the wooded slopes of mountain gorges. wild boars inhabit the foothills unfortunately they still fall easy prey to hunters because they're obvious targets they lay grazing in open spaces and rarely go uphill. and.

landmarks scattered across the reserve reflect the history of. people first began using caves and overhanging rocks as dwellings times. the loans where the ancestors of. they built stone fortifications overlooking the mountain pass so they'd be more easily defensible. in those days even temper lanes mighty army was unable to cross this territory the highlanders blocked the mountain passes and pelted his troops with stones. you know. these tell was began to built in the middle ages their earliest period dates back to the fourteenth or seventeenth century. towers are the most celebrated architectural landmarks of ancient north has set yet they differ in height and

shape as a rule large extended families lived in wide short challoner's taller ones were used as lookout points and for other defensive purposes the towers were built close to villages and in gorges with paths used by troops on foot and on horseback many were extensions of forbidding clips. rock faces. provided protection from clan infighting among the diverse arrays. was served as beacons if people manning which tell was in the lowest lying villages at the entrance to the gorge noticed approaching enemy troops then they would lie don't fall as people in all the towers so the smoke. was in remote parts of the gorge in accordance with a long standing tradition building a tower was 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 via set in people is a medieval architectural site called very calm located in that say scoria gorge eighteen hundred meters above sea level. what you're going to find you go oh i can test indicates that that cease and last year disappeared from here in the south or eleventh century with. this fence was built a couple of centuries later at the battle of loving the initially an orthodox church was here but when orthodoxy grew weaker it was turned into

a pagan sanctuary. if it did this calls are forms of animals killed by hunters were brought here. scientists don't yet know exactly when they're called was built only logs were used to make it no nails or anything made of iron carved poll support the wooden roof they feature patterns that look like a camel's head resting on a long neck what it and spirit heads have been found here according to legend a city in principles but the tar was captured with rumor has it that in travellers visiting this place in the eighteenth century saw it in the. only natural features are destined to be the reserves eternal landmarks. over the

centuries water and wind have crafted unique landscapes. many of them are hidden from the inquisitive eyes of tourists. only the staff of the nature reserve are aware of their location. for if ever the thought that this was the final is called the ring it is a unique natural feature of this century. the river has broken through lying stone beds here to make a hole in the shape of a ring there was a reflector that it forms a rainbow for. one who falls like this one are rare not only in the caucasus but in the entire world the stone rate is about ten 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 for. the most is

absolutely pure i would say it's the standard from natural water it's filmed in the coast examined in the limestone of the kerry outrange there also is crystal clear up to filtering through many kilometers of limestone not over. the current since you can you and with rock terraces rado's and mission is 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 fan. good film what they do swaying many tons tumbled zone from cliff tops and terrace edges a stream lines and loops through the stones and blockages this is where. very clean water for life but it's a rare species in the mills and streams of the caucuses.

the canyons must seawalls date back to the jurassic period and winter they're covered with heights they're known as retaining walls because of the constantly dripping water and some of. the reserves mountain streams overflowed 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. wealthy british style.

a log by car with no we'll have to walk because. some hundred metres wide in fact there have been through a monstrous here a week ago the avalanche fell here. will try to take another wrote to me in the upper road. the train's caucuses highway is the reserves most avalanche prone area with up to two hundred fifty avalanches each season. a snow slide can be set off from a shelter from skis touching it slightly or from a drift of snow. wet snow usually slides down slowly from the slope and avalanche of dry snow is the fastest and most dangerous kind of. the plan it was called is in place yes everything's ready.

in north a says here a special militia fights avalanches. attention a lot. more an accurate shot since the snow flowing downwards. and avalanche fill in the fuel gun gorge during the night and nobody was hit by snow slabs of the road was entirely blocked caucasian goats are grazing somewhere in the mountains the rangers will have to go on foot to reach them. i mean there's several on security a few days ago about a week ago his sunken since then was a fire then i'm sure a couple of metres all right let's go that. some time ago there was a good chance of people encountering caucasian goats on the mountain paths today

scientists tend to observe them through their binoculars these graceful animals prefer the higher altitudes. caucasian goats have no difficulty clearing steep slopes they almost never slip off as they know how to spread their center of gravity evenly and choose the right foot hold and they have no fear of heights. these caucasian variety of goats inhabits this reserve it's possible to tell them apart by the shape of their horns. who thumps over a grail goes have horns in a form of a partial spiral. like this like it but at the ends of the koreans spiral our ports the right horn points to the left and the left horn points to the right. cohesion goats or wild animals so high in the mountains and they often allow rock

climbers to come surprisingly close. to more than width is a pickle eat my damn matter of ten meters if they go so got used to the presence of people who are clearly over to. the goods are quite tolerant of them near the training camp so for rock climbers are good or when they can park for the night up in the mountains. there are many fascinating routes for climbing into z. is switched 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 was. careful as

it all down from here. works so well once phones ourselves in an extreme situation there was strong gusts of wind during our ascent visibility was a mere ten metres in those conditions we couldn't climb down from the top of the mountain or 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 mountains alone three climbers is the minimal number. summer is the ideal season for challenging climbs. and spring climbers examine the best way to get out the mountains work out new routes and compare mountain terrain with its map descriptions.

what we are going to be i spritz welcome let's try and climb through that snow there and come from the right side through the rock. should iraq steer. well we'll see when we reach the place. which i thought ok let's get going. climbing even to the lower peaks of the mountain range takes no small effort and. the air is humid and rarefied the sun is blinding snow may collapse at any moment the climbers have to exert themselves to conquer the fight mountain just. in accordance with tradition and once the top the summit rock climbers drink tea with bitter chocolate. to help yourself. what you mean why am i here and what attracts me to the mountains that's

the most difficult question i can think of i don't think any climber or found stream sports could answer it simply i enjoy rock climbing and the beautiful landscape. just descends on the mountains rapidly and in spring the weather can change very quickly the climbers need to get down as fast as possible. mayes. but mazes receiving. their group reached the top at thirteen forty five when they getting that ascends what's the weather like just fine everything's ok going down. yes thanks. the bulk of the reserve is situated along the book 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 scheme resort is situated in the glaciers melt in the city square a gorge. 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 and blood of a wild ox by the name of cob because flows in their veins come because was sent to a private nursery after being caught in one thousand no seven by the russian empire while on a hunting expedition when all the bison had been exterminated in the north caucasus it was come cause at the forefront of the restoration of the caucasian bison subspecies. thing to do with a great grandson of course caused by the name of the daughter was born in arising twenty five of the ago as far as i can gather it was the forefather of the caucasian subspecies of the bison that in one thousand thirties he was taken to us carny a novelist a soviet nature reserve and there he meted with female villar was by some of the latest that was the origin of a bison subspecies with location blood. since early this morning reserve staff have been trying to compel the bison to enter

special cages for transportation during a quarantine period animals became accustomed to their pen and learned 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 and now the herd will follow suit and nice and are known for their matriarchal behavior . come on faster if you're well done. the bison steadfastly injured 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 essential nature reserve and the world wildlife fund. everything's ready joey goes

yes let's go. up. 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 thailand aussies available in the field bankole called c m square hutto super to look for hotels bangkok sign on the landmark hotel bangkok amole watergate hotel
