the territory they keep records of the natural environment what's the situation no one has nothing to speak of a little sad you know intruders apart from some little animals. and what about the stellar siegel's a couple who come from their touring low tide you'll see them. low tide doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea if a halt can be crossed you really the title current is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is always here full year round and falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagles and this its owner is away hunting for food and soon it appears on the horizon. look ido. the climate here is almost completely different to the previous location even in the height of summer the weather poses a challenge it's

a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory he says he has failed to know poachers. for some say the series here in the north is very monotonous but in fact it is very beautiful this is really dander in our springtime flower which is listed in russia's red book i'm in danger plants and animals and this one began to bloom just a few days ago. when the rising tide comes they will need to collect some two hundred liters of fresh water this supply should last until the end of the trip many of the expedition participants have been suffering from dehydration this is the only chance to replenish the water supply for as long as the ship remains at sea. this water is absolutely fresh because it comes here from the snow fields a lot or it's cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and
1:47 pm
it's smooth to. the water is now on board and the ships anchor is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later you know taken a eagle's nest which is not on the map but he will market his new the eagle seems to be alone the nest is very tiny. the weather rapidly deteriorates and the birds head to the rocks watching them becomes impossible moreover the fog makes sailing in these conditions dangerous so the ship comes to a halt. ranges of gets into a motorboat to have a cape. game are called an old friend of his is in charge of a lighthouse. so gay lives there with his wife kate covers an area of just over one square kilometer. growth and you want to home school.

1:49 pm
nobody but beasts and even they are very tame. before dusk goes to the lighthouse there are more than two hundred time one steps in the spiral staircase. in the soviet union the lighthouse was a strategic naval installation and was guarded accordingly a sentry was on round the clock usually at the entrance. much has changed since then but the litel still requires daily maintenance specially designed lenses enable the light to be seen from twelve nautical miles away even though the power of the lamps is five hundred watts. i was a child when my parents brought me here in one thousand nine hundred sixty two. that's when i took a fancy to this place when i grew up i brought my kids here they too have grown up here as such i might call my family again a city of sorts. to woods evening the ship departs for the

ski. the only thoughtlessness will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. we're now approaching my real island the main destination of our trip the place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is about one hundred meters deep ships are best to see are clear of this place during a storm or change inside there is no telling what tricks it may have in store for us. the pacific's northernmost habitats of silence is almost to kill island in the late one nine hundred eighty s. scientists raise the alarm of discovering a dramatic form in the number of these mammals. since then an international group of scientists has come to the mc arlen's each year. to begin with all the adults he learns to shoot away from the beach then they were called the pups so as to
1:51 pm
estimate the size of the population accurately the newborn's of them tagged and given a number. the procedure makes it possible to track the animals movements in the sea of a halt over roughly twenty years which is the average large span of a sea lawyer. is what is part of this leave the animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season to set a particular day aside when the harm done to the sea lion population is reduced to a minimum since the procedure has been perfected terms of the smallest detail start vets administer an anaesthetic to the seal and pups to ensure a painless operation. you put on the sea lions breathe in a special gas for about three minutes he falls asleep and wake sets in ten minutes later it doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. feel.
1:52 pm
just i am going to take some blood samples if the blood tests will tell us something about the state of the newborn south to see if they're healthy enough that so many deer they have a chance the job involves a good deal of physical labor and unfortunately the team is short handed this year . the expedition is grateful to the ash with the help of the tosk is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs an average of twenty seven kilograms space special shitakes like in the sense that it's quite nice to me because. i can just help us carry. so i can be useful it helps get the less likely. as biologists label the seal and pups the adults in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the job as soon as they can this year the expedition has
