a man comes here for three years. he will stay here much longer but if he leaves and never comes back he will miss the place. the boogie woogie perhaps it's the best expenses these three big elements of the land the pacific ocean the stars overhead them when. they purify you. opinions is there here people are more heart of. a hate group in the city but i know that this place is better than here a piece of heaven belongs to the. bearing on islands russia's far east again hold still a ship has dropped anchor in

a bank and individual nickel square each year this ship bring scientists from all over russia to the island they come here to study the unique natural environment of the commando highlands. is that folks our survey should we grab a sure thing it's our generator. vixen. coolin has done a good deal of research into marine mammals he spends each summer on the island. you manage without a doubt the nokia was and a high powered telescope our research is most indispensable tools here we mostly use them to record the number of first seals we count them every five days. because base is only twenty five kilometers from the village of mccall square the best way to get around is an all terrain vehicle with caterpillar tracks.

the island's main road goes along the beach where traffic is possible to tie its. vehicles move along rocky paths along the tundra. these islands of the talk of an underwater mountain range stretching across the pacific from russia to alaska the commando archipelago includes two large islands bearing and near the two small islands called the cove and finally come. they were named after commander victors bearing a seafarer who discovered them in seven hundred forty one born in denmark vetus unison bearing served in the russian fleet he was in charge of geographic expeditions organized by peter the great. belling ship

ended up wrecked on this island. hardships they suffered during the winter divine description of high winds the bitter cold militarism sludge ah yes. there was an agonizing water just terrible. saying a possum you came to the commander rollins when he was seventeen years old. since then he's worked as a sailor a fisherman and a hunter. he singlehandedly crossed the pacific and not before reaching seattle. he is now a permanent resident nicole's going where he's preparing illustrations for his book about the commander island's. that will get to their ngs crew as lucky to be stranded at this place there must have been a guardian angel watching from above because the ship was thrown over a reef into this cozy bay. most of the varying crew

managed to survive precisely because they had landed the shore of the commander died unable to withstand the harsh winter for a long time nobody knew where he had been buried his grave was found only in nine hundred ninety one during an archeological expedition organized for the purpose local residents. was almost expedition. scientists tested the soil in several places to see how much phosphorus it contained they found the greatest amount of phosphorus around barings grave. burying was not put in a coffin he was buried on a plank survivors were too weak to dig deep graves all agrees for shallow this is the place.

the members of the bering expedition were amazed by the diversity of the island's foreigner and secondly the huge amount of marine animals according to their records the first seals breeding grounds took up nearly the whole coastline now there are just four seal nurseries on barren island one of them is in the northwestern part of it a scientist space situated next to. the roar of sea mammals can be heard many kilometers away from the beach the shore is divided by the high rocks into several sections and cannot be seen from one point in full. to count the sails scientists have to look at. every little day. but as long. as you get the first seals of playfully frolicking on the beach seals are the largest animals here they lie around looking forward to the arrival of fame

or else after they come here the place will be teeming with arabs the smaller seals will be driven away they will move to the edge of the beach. in winter the first seals head for the sea of japan but they spend some of on the commander on it's nearly a quarter of a million seals gather here each year this is almost one fifth of the world's total . there are only males on the beach now instead the seals of busy dividing the breeding ground into plots that. once they have moved into that territory they will stay there until late august. after the famous seals arrive the beach will be off limits to outsiders the males will kill anybody showing up there. these powerful animals quickly respond to any sign of danger is so strong that a brief jerk of their neck can send

a forty kilogram carol flying over several meters. because of the beauty and your ability that copes first seals quickly faced mass extermination much like the seals the other inhabitants of the island like optic foxes and sea alters were not faithful of humans as a result they ended up easy prey for the hunters who came to the island at the end of the eighteenth century valuable fur bearing animals and found themselves on the brink of extinction. every now and then russian virgins to pillage the islands arctic foxes a sea otters where incredible numbers here and then they were killed by the thousands osieck hours. made extinct within twenty six years late commander islands where the only have a chat over that marine mammal. in one thousand nine hundred three almost the entire territory come on the island was

declared a protected area counseling and other economic activity were banned as a result there was a gradual growth in the population of rare animals. surtees zeigler bill me is an employee of the reserves he monitors the population of birds and animals and keeps a record. with we're going to ari cameron and top are called we are in luck today the sea is calm and the weather is nice there is a big hurry there are lots of sea birds and there are also many animals sea lions harbor seals and sea otters we will try to take pictures of them. each year about a million birds nest them come on the islands there are real cories on almost all of the coastal cliffs the bird population on top of cove island is one of the most impressive. up to one hundred thousand pairs of tough to. gather in an area of some

five hundred square meters they are called northern pirates because of the bright plumage. that each year we catch and tag about a hundred birds it will let me go now i'll have to open its beak it's ok it happens . i'm going to try and take it now it's best to let them get back to their holes or else be taken far beyond the places where the other tells the puffins nest if one of these birds gets into a puffins nest be owned by the gas might well be killed by another puff and you know where we usually let them go by tossing them into the air. and the horse though it seems he doesn't want to fly today. these birds cannot take off from the ground which is why they look clumsy instead they use a steep slope as a launch pad tufted pathans feet in the open sea it drives the depths of up to a hundred meters on the hunt for small fry. quite

often siegel snatch fish from tufted puffins that can't fly fast enough they swoop down on puffins to make them drop the fish and then they snatch it up in mid-air. sure and foreigner from both you laser and america the commander islands and locus wind go is native to north america the commander rollins of the eastern most tip of its habitat. markov island hosts russia's biggest nest in colony of cloudless when those scientists put the numbers at over one thousand five hundred pounds. of these eggs were laid by a glove because winds go such birds protect their nests by attacking intruders we've just heard these two from their nest should we stop here they will attack us from above sometimes they might even walk us over the head with their wings i would recommend but you should not hang around here too long. assumes they feel

safe it goes waste no time getting to the nests otherwise neighbors may destroy the clutch. something the harbor seals are only thirty metres away from us we are going to approach the big rock and try to get a close look at them. call the island a rare subspecies of harbor seals have the breeding ground close to the water during low tide the animals usually i'm sure they slide into the water the slightest sign of danger if. the commander islands are a kingdom of rain fold and relentlessly cold winds winters here last for nearly eight months but most of the year low clouds to the ground rare occasions some gives barren island

a chance to reveal its true fields. the northern part of the island is flat with low shores. southern pass' covered with mountains and vertical cliffs sticking out to sea. it one can see the two highest waterfalls on the island which are especially stunning on the snow melts in spring. you can take a boat to see the rocks. the sun millions of birds in all looks like a pillow that has been torn into pieces. a magnificent view. i got out of the military in ninety sixty six i got zero because of the things i saw

the things i was doing and there's a reason he said we were given for it when i'm there was a personal protest. during the vietnam war an antiwar movement emerged that altered the course of history this movement didn't take place on college campuses but in berets and on ships to penetrate elite military college. just like west point and it spread throughout the battlefields. today few people know about the g.i. movement against the war in vietnam. ask the army we always said free the army or fun travel and adventure but it really meant the army. and the worldwide manhunt for him lasted for fifteen years it's. a one million year old war and was promised for his country. political mass murder for the west.

the national hero sermonising comfort. to keep general of the serbian army i. robbed him of age little or clinton archie. airplanes arriving at nicole square airport are a welcome event for the population of barren island in winter time flights are often cancelled because of gale force winds and poor visibility.

sometimes regular service does not resume for weeks at a time the islands are known for their rigorous time and. here cold arctic waters class for the warm currents coming from the southern seeds to create a humid summer opposite climate. zimm with winters here very long it may snow in may or in early june. in fact i'm sure you will see snow. in his paintings so they pass a new can tries to recreate the local nature over many years he's traveled around the thermometer islands. most of his works were inspired by his trips.

now surrogate permanently lives in nickel square and teaches out to children of the local c.v.s. . here you need to somehow make the nansen of the wing look more prominent cry again. and you won't want to have those dark spots in your picture or rocks the bird and the way in. which children usually draw sea birds which are the most common inhabitants of the command of nature. many of them nest in a room called out a common which is a fifty seven meets a high rock and sledge is accommodate more than fifty thousand birds of seventeen different species reserve staff a very careful about taking stock of the island's habits and they have to avoid startling the birds such an incident could accidentally make them not eggs down the side of the. girl molds have

a long breeding period by guillemots female can lay up to seven eggs at a time if one of them goes missing she is ready to produce many more value which is to take advantage of this behavior before the nature reserve came into being they would come to our a common island to move the eggs that had been late in order to get fresh ones a few days later. sea lions a fund of relaxing on the only common island this animal is closely related to the first seal but it is much bigger in the eighteenth century that allowed fowls signal danger to see ferrous and that they should stay clear of the animals and the hazardous rocks in the area. the sea lion population on the under rylan is a shrunken recently is about a thousand sea lions come here each summer the females affair from the humans they

leave the beach assumes the sea. that the sea lions are building hiram's for themselves by gallery and together a group of cows they always try to keep the cows by their sides because if they leave they may not come back this is a last ditch battle for the males. bearing island as well away from normal sea routes and fishing boats in the rain giants will completely secure. the beaches and whales often enter the bay. the local see them and say look at the whales to each other for us as a common thing for the residents of the mountain because whales migrate past the commander islands so it's very easy to observe them aboard.

dr olga philosopher and even fit buton i've been studying the behavior of whales for many years the scientists are in luck a respirations beaked whale has approached them and. they were first discovered off the shore of the command. runs. away they don't let people approach them and that is why we're in such a hurry if they come to the surface where we only got a couple of minutes to get a few pictures up close you know but even that's not always the case and nobody knows anything where the species when they always stick together. whales can dive to a depth of several kilometers and such food after getting a gulp of air they swim down disappearing without

a trace compared with killing all this place is terra incognita each time we discover something new there's a simpler way of doing such research by studying mice or birds for example and you do get quicker results that way but we don't know much about this besides it takes a good deal of hard work to study them have been used in the view from. when someone comes millions of fish driven by natural instinct to strive to get to the spawning areas in the northern part of the bering island there was a small fish farm. fishing is an essential part of the local economy. the fishing season mean was very hard work and i think any version will agree with

me. but it's just specially rough when you're a part of a chemo fisherman. you get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night you wake up before the cigarette between your teeth goes out. the fishing season last throughout the summer is very hard work indeed but people are virtually dying to do it. fish dominates the local cuisine and the fishery is the main source of income for local residents in early june a valuable red salmon is the first to light the spawning. look at all so this caviar isn't right it's a small and very fact later when the fish enter the fresh waters and begin to

support this system gets transformed the fish stop eating and thirsts lose their fat and become red. the caviar gets bigger and ripens. out of everything the red salmon is the favorite food of first seals saying a possum you'll observe this many time. was written they are real hunters this animal is very pretty it's impossible to tear your eyes away from the beach as seals come here for summer the beaches are full of them. it's a strong beautiful me just. master of the sea. puts in a cool in getting ready for the most dangerous part of his job along with his son so jay he's heading to the very center of the breeding ground in a special plywood box to check on the health of the first seals for right now he's

worried about what one sea line is going to do next the lion pricks up his ears when he sees something strange appearing each. pierce he can crush a plywood box just as easily as a human can a magical it's what is no problem for him to destroy the shelter which was the same line weighs more than seven hundred kilograms according to published figures they can weigh as much as a ton of plywood is a little a thing as far as the seal is concerned. first seals just like any some movements they explore is trying to walk as slowly as they can to avoid startling animals. that would have developed one of the seals came up to us to say hello to you couldn't sniff us out because the wind was blowing our way otherwise he wouldn't have come anywhere near us.

first seals liven up towards evening when the temperature drops remember those are quite comfortable at this time considering they spend most of their lives in icy water. the scientists are going to monitor the first seals every day during the whole summer period. for an urban resident custom to hossam the city's life on barren island may see monotonous boring. regardless it will still come in droves to the commander runs. although i've been around for forty years. i still don't know what kind of magnet

attracts people here but at lot of it. doesn't want to throw hamsters the vast expanses here there's nothing the eye can stumble against. people here are different these three big elements the land the pacific ocean and stars over your heads in when they purify you of food is the people here don't fool around they behave in a different way not like they do in the metro here people are more one hundred. where my girl was i know that this place is better for here a part of heaven belongs to the island.
