new golden rules until. just a ski lift in a sea of cars this. business. of the world from central moscow this is the new channel thanks for being with us these are all top stories tonight in the u.s. should some serious political elite as the brutal crackdown on protesters in the country continue but some analysts say washington's policies really aggravating the situation this is a rather revolutionary guards also being sanctioned for allegedly supporting the crackdown. russian activists sound the alarm of a vicious bullying in the army that's claimed more and more young lives so just

rather selfish those are doing enough to stop the group of practice. plus new york authorities cash by policing the people thanks to a series of new regulations and fines for petty crimes and big apple smokers are among those hit hardest the legal to perfectly in many parts of the city. as mentioned just now travels next and we join an expedition of twenty adventurers as they head through the russians north all the way to be ott. brushes know. nearly every road there is covered with snow. mush mush. anyone venturing across this vast expanse has to make their way through snowy forests over icy rivers and lakes in the old days local people use dog sleds it was the only reliable means of transportation for. people managing dog teams

a cold. the owners i'm the drivers of the dogs together with the tourists they're about to set out from an expedition full with many extreme challenges. the goal is to carve a way through untamed snow to a designated point in the arctic circle. will they cope with the rigors of the journey and reach their destination. the small village of color valor is the starting point to the arduous expedition it stretches along the bank of lake quito in the north of the republic of korea. early in the morning twenty people driving five dog teams and nine snowmobiles are ready to set off season travelers and thirty sled dog huskies are joined by

journalists and extreme tourism and. the snowmobiles will take the lead. their task is to look for a convenient track and pave the way over deep snow dog teams then follow in their wake. today we have a difficult day today is the first day of the expedition so we need to learn to work together temperatures will drop to thirty below so will be difficult this is the. dog show again and this is amadeus these two dogs are also experienced this is chinook and this is. the grand cross on the shore of lake quito symbolizes the start of the expeditions first stage it serves as a good omen for those from of safely returned to color velour from a journey across the lake and for those who are about to set off the cross is there for a reason as the lake has an ill reputation you get the ship legend has it that the

lake takes sacrifices if it doesn't in any particular here then it takes two or three people in the following year. the trail winds through remote parts of korea's north the long history of this land is a mystical or. the expeditions destination is a point in the arctic circle sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty nine seconds north of the equator it is situate. it in the thick forests of the ancient land of popular ruled by a witch by the name of. the to be a temporary today is quite extreme but we have a lot of difficulties to deal with too much snow and pools of water on the ice and with the low temperatures today our job won't be easy and all.

the great job guys nicely done. color viola was deliberately chosen as the expedition starting point. this village has special significance for both karelians am fends. it was here more than a hundred years ago and finland's famous for knowledge ist elyas learn root collected numerous ancient finnish poems known as rooms. a folk attic called skull of allah is based on them. most of the rooms reflect the everyday life of koreans and finns their joys and sorrows they also sang songs about their native land.

drivers let their dogs have a rest each time they cover ten to fifteen kilometers. or two boisterous to stand still for long quite often they kick up a fuss urging the driver to get a move on. sled dogs were bred by the indigenous choky of north eastern siberia and the eskimos of alaska the word husky is a distortion of s.k. which is the word americans used to describe eskimos huskies are distant relations of the wolf from time immemorial they have lived side by side with humans in the north. the distinguishing features of the husky are speed exceptional insurance the ability to cover long distances without much effort and their devotion to humans their desire to always be on the move is in their blood. you have a good voice came going. the expedition makes its first long stop over in his

cell mate house the drilling and several out houses are in the midst of a forest. nicholai to hala the hermit lives here alone without the perks of modern life. the good thing about life here is that you don't have to worry about electricity or heating or being cut out i take water from a nice hole in chop far wood to keep me warm. and it is a fin by nationality and a russian citizen he's also a man of the forest as he calls himself he became a legendary figure in karelia in finland a long time ago. nicholai turned his life around when he was a young man he bade farewell to friends and family left his village home and settled down in the woods. but we're not so quiet here everything is clean and calm the forest is so beautiful especially now during sunset. in the summer there are

a lot of people oh how slow and bustle i have already begun to forget all that. i have been here for twenty years already. nicolo relies on subsistence farming like many others before him he hunts and fishes dogs are his best friends nikolai likes being a hermit but he has not been completely alone throughout the twenty years of his life outside civilization. that's why has a philosophical view lifestyle tourists come here to visit him and says no they can always count on help here. lol well hello. many make a point of going to his house to spend the night there rather than in a tent pitched on the snow. i brought you something to keep you connected i didn't

want to lose it so i kept it in my pocket but it's a battery that's right and a charger all this very good at dusk only the snowmobiles have reached his salmi sled dog teams arrive later well into the night. early in the morning. the dog driver begins preparing his dog team for the next past which he had been training his first piece for quite a long time before the expedition had shown the best performance during the initial stages. this is a special ordnance for joints we use it on the dogs before and after racing to prevent their limbs for making and to make running easier. these dog boots are designed to protect their paws from the ice. they look ridiculous but

the dogs can't do without them you shouldn't replace them i took them off for the night to let them dry. each dog has its own character physical strength alone is not enough for a long run the driver needs to motivate his team to do their job as best they can the dogs need to feel his affection. i love to pens and dog drivers they need to make sure they have full contact with their dogs is my right my beauty. thanks. meanwhile the expedition is heading north towards the arctic circle. hundreds of thousands of years ago this land just outside the arctic circle was rocked by earthquakes lover spewed out of ruptures in the earth's crust later to rain created by fiery elements became submerged in the thick armor of

a vast placid. it didn't melt until the onset of the stone age when humans first made their appearance here according to archaeologists enough apologists for a rigorous climate kept the number of people in each tribe down to approximately thirty members those people lead reclusive lives there was little contact between tribes. for centuries that have passed since then of course about little change the climate is still as unforgiving as ever few people ever in small villages there are a few roads right here the root of the arctic circle expedition lies. we trade that way. of. life in villages in karelia the north is still almost the same as it was hundreds of years ago winter in these parts last long and brings in its way lots of snow and freezing temperatures any true korean in needs

a solid wooden house a fireplace and several objects made of birch tree branch in the old days was used to make all sorts of objects kitchen utensils bags and shoes it was also used to make talismans to protect people from the witch lo he and the evil spirits servants did they made all sorts of toys which children out of birch bark one of them was called sure cannot kids would play with it and it was also thought to be a charm that would ward off evil spirits the park is the top most layer of a bitch tree the northern people spend all their lives surrounded by things made of the bark the ancient karelians even buried people rolling them in layers of the bark. one of the oldest villages in karelia is called soft coral it is on the bank of the softening the river the waterway links to lakes it is famous for the fact that it is constantly changing flow. younger rivers links to

large lakes this place is unique because the river changes direction when it fills one of the lakes the water flows into the other one is trail to capacity it flows back into the first lake. where. even in the twenty first century when many villages have tap water locals prefer to take it from rivers for their daily needs just as their fairytale ancestors on the color of allah folk think that when the rivers are covered with ice in winter people make holes in it with an axe. the water of creating lakes and rivers is so clean it is safe to drink straight from the source even the lowest temperatures can do nothing to bridle the mountain streams the hills are not high they are almost entirely overgrown with trees. the good the region's highest point is over there beyond the horizon according to the caliber of folk apic that's where the olden

visions from which he lived. a good go go go go mush mush great job guys nicely done. low he the which has given the expedition a frosty welcome bitter cold in a grey sky and developed in snow a shroud a recent snow for the lays the dog teams. for your child go. the time table is now in tatters. the sleds have to cover the distance to the next stopover overpacked. quickly lifted quickly we should all time.

this time expedition members set up camp in the forest they waste no time pitching tents and making a bonfire at night they hold an emergency meeting. most of. the folks cannot get to by such a route there will be a mass of snow on the way to the arctic circle is ok for the snowmobiles most adults who go slowly any school take a lot of time to cover the route. before they reach the arctic circle the expedition will spend two days going across a mountain or in the highest mountain in karelia as north they will then pave their way across the ice of lake partly out of the largest lake in the region the weather forecast is not looking good freezing temperatures unpleasant the way.

the him for it. was. a. machine would be so much brighter than if you knew about some of them from finance to the freshman some. of these circumstances on t.v. don't succumb.

to. it. people riding in dog sleds and snowmobiles will cross the pony r.v. national park before they reach the arctic circle they will make a stopover on the shore of the lake the expedition heading that is taking

a shortcut because of the bad weather. expedition members driving snowmobiles resolved to go across some of new warrant karelians highest mountain a demanding route by all accounts according to the spoken and great cull of valor this place is the gateway to the mysterious land of popular. bay area is covered with thick forest of the kind you find only in sub-arctic regions pine trees and spruce is fare better than other plants on ice covered ground here the wind bring snow and cold weather from the arctic moisture and warm air from the atlantic this is why the foothill trees are top with big caps of packed snow. you know usually smoke is pretty small and snoring and it's more than a symbol lashon has if the person habitants of this place feared it the mountain is

a mass of european granite with droplets of quartz crystals a beautiful sight but when i started training the mountain turned blots rent locals were scared by their unusual sight they thought the dots were crime because people had done something wrong and them. looking at people. and i'm curious and we've talked the expedition runs into the veil of snow sports here people refer to it as the milk of low heat which. visibilities in the soft snow does not support the sound of eels nevertheless expeditions participants decide to scramble to the mountains top. despite the priest blessing on the expedition the evil forces of paul hill are still managed to claim a sacrifice one of the snowmobiles has broken down. below

the steering wheel is broken near the base. that the connection is entirely broken. all right we should be ok for now. another snowmobile toes the broken one back home the main convoy of snowmobiles heads for lake pannier. they call most of the distance by going through the narrow strip that was once the old border between russia and finland. the old border divided the lake almost into directly opposite the famous loose skin color cliffs. the lake was formed by a one hundred twenty eight metre deep tectonic fissure in the earth millions of years ago. my r.v. is a word from the language that was spoken by laplanders who lived here many years ago

the word means road. for a long time the lake served as a link between the west and the east there was a time when convoys of dog sleds would take goods from sweden and finland to korea and russia over the lakes from the ice there is then this is where smugglers ceased to store contraband they would make arrangements for smuggling them across the border and there was two way traffic in those days people bought it things money played almost no role here most of the trade was done by exchanging goods you. one of the outposts of the national park is on the lake shore where the expedition will make its last stop of before a final thrust towards the arctic circle drivers rarely leave their dogs on attended to in the stopovers huskies demonstrates a much higher degree of an juror and people who are. there full of energy

even after a long haul the hyperactive behavior often results in scuffles between teammates. that. they are sit. quiet muskies never attack people no matter whether they're people they know or strangers this is a remarkable distinguishing feature of the breed they show absolute obedience to their drivers they see the driver as the lead dog. yes sometimes they like behind but then this is not a race it's an expedition there isn't a right sweetie but sometimes we have to discipline them sometimes we have to be caring for this one for example needs comforting. it is up to the driver to choose which one he wants to train for the role of lead dog a lead dog needs to be quick witted keen on hard work and how the ability to

inspire other dogs with its zeal. in the evening the expedition's dog drivers decide to hold a dog sled race special finish candles are used to mark out the route on the lake shore young women are entrusted with the job of driving this lets. people use their voice to control dogs during a speed race they don't you stick so lashes a goodly dog has no difficulty carrying out orders by anyone commanding the sled. granted all the guys. good go go go go. season sled dogs are unlikely to stray from a straight line even if. this is especially the case as a short distance having passed the finish line they can keep running. good.

korean. another day of the arctic expedition is coming to an end. early in the morning dog drivers gather together to discuss an important matter they need to decide whether the dog teams will strive on towards the arctic circle we won't make it on time we have to generate a signal from this point before monday so we have to look and see if it's possible to even take the dogs this way. we should go here then by the lake to get there on time. with seventy kilometers still ahead of them the expedition decided to use name of eels to cover the remaining distance the dogs to save the trouble of crossing the harsh terrain. the arctic

circle comes across to different points around the globe the aim of the expedition is sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty nine seconds north of the equator there is only one way to reach this geographical point any deviation from it will instantly change the figures thank. you for wanting to receive the nasa so that we have been registered. as the next excuse me what does it mean it means we have done it and we are here. navigators pinpoint the right coordinates in a forest amidst pine trees following a six hour marathon in snowmobiles the group checks their position within the arctic circle with a special satellite navigation device they're the first to come here and the gist of their coordinates. later today is sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty seconds to launch it is twenty nine degrees fifty three minutes and forty

one seconds. we made it last. if others make the same journey later all they need to do is simply retrace the route taken by the pioneers before them. finally done it it's great that we're here trying to argue that dogs are a match for hardware is pointless we must combine both dogs and emotion to the expeditions the dogs have lots of advantages those warm shady creatures would be showing their joy if they were here now. of course they wouldn't understand the meaning of what has happened but they would simply jump in and showing their joy. the arctic circle. waving.
