4:35 pm
been her line of work the several years she has brought all the necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. than the burning and winding this tree is no easy job it will take elsie at least forty minutes to get to the nest especially if she observes all of the safety rules. elsie's progress is blocked she can't go any further this is where a video camera attached to a road comes in handy and i chaired a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting us at the start of the season we need to know how many chips that hatched and how many have survived to the end of the season and then if they're mature enough to leave their nest events the film is shot from different angles special care is taken not to scare away at all. otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks were thought of
4:36 pm
starvation elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got dialled from a tree place full of chicks a small white chicks are and i find. nothing around in the sunshine i can not for the chop she bakes like this just like you had said to small of a very healthy chick. decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the nature reserve to put your fish and game today people are a rare sight here let me out of a gauche patrol the territory making his way along narrow trails left by as he always carries a gun with him a tricycle so i can be easily spotted from this elevation intruders crossing the reserves by a breeze as a threat. branches lying close to the pole speak of
4:37 pm
a camp fire started by welcome guests or this is what is left of a branch that got caught in a fire even though more than thirty years of cost i still shudder when i think back to that inferno. this was just way of getting to any part of the reserve in an emergency is by helicopter. when a fire flares up the helicopters will have to make dozens of trips a day but even that does little to help. the toigo may remain a blaze two weeks on end. sometimes far as covers such a large area the foreman from all over the region come to help. controlling fire is especially difficult in can do for us forests it takes many years to recover from such a blaze floods are just as dangerous as fire in early spring transporting fuel and

basic necessities was a start is an extreme and often life threatening toss. which is more than. one occasion snowmobiles broke down as we had to walk scores of kilometers such incidents would have made many others quit his job something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge that keeps you in good shape. the following morning the weather changes abruptly it is clear from the four cos that the rain will keep coming down for almost a week you all are full of just decided against inspecting of a sea. they want to waste the time so they begin looking through the video they filmed the day before. i would like to take a closer look at what you filmed. i couldn't see it clearly in the sunlight. well i didn't expect to see that the chicks i saw were older and they behaved in
4:39 pm
a very different way. now this this is the first time i've seen chicks fighting all the time they're behaving naturally as they should it's not like they saw you with your camera it was hidden after all. l.c.s. food began learning russian a few months before arriving in the mag region well in the result of each station notes than you would she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's important if you're working that you don't learn too many everything because you can't remember them you need to have a few protocols. so you can use them when you need quickly. a day later and time is running out the expedition now has to move to another sector of the reserve . didn't go through the second phase of the expedition is about to begin and will visit the korean peninsula on the on ski islands where the maritime sector is will
4:40 pm
see eagle nests check the bears and tagged sea lions for now this part of the trip is done. three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite an old tugboat question is when expedition vessel has entered the sea of faults. through several killer whales appeared near the ship they seem to be able to push the ship's captain many happy returns for his sixty fifth birthday get the ball ready for a large applause the check point is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the maritime sector of the market and the state nature reserve the environment is very harsh. accompanies the group of

researches at this stage of the expedition with a service record of more than twenty years he's one of the reserves veterans surrogate began his career as a rank and file employee now he is in charge of the ranges guarding the reserves maritime sector they are on duty for about a month for the time the rangers are a self-sufficient community. apart from guarding the territory they keep records of a natural environment was the situation no one with nothing to speak of. the 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. no toy doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea of a halt can be crossed surely the tidal currents is so strong that it isn't supposed keep one's balance the water is all year round and falling in would be dangerous
4:42 pm
there are no signs of life in the eagles and this its owner is away hunting for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look evil. the climate here is it was completely different to the previous location even in the height of summer the weather poses a challenge it's a little bit cold. but it's not winter it's it's summer so it's a me it's like. winter in scotland maybe. you feel. the rain just take two dogs on the daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin talking as soon as they smell a bag they are just as indispensable when rangers look for peaches something bad is often the poachers have better equipment than the reserve personnel. all rules are
4:43 pm
so over the posers carry weapons their boats have powerful engines in the storm and on top of that lawyers provide legal protection or you're unlikely to find any eyewitnesses here a ranger would have to work very hard before the offender could be brought to trial which and it works in accordance. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captains the is the vessel along the shore of the researchers take stock of the best inhabiting the coney and then see what i can see a female bear down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears are sported their exact location will be mocked on the map while the research is conduct their work ship moves to the slow speed. it was evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the ski islands it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is

4:47 pm
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 the water is cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and it's moved to. the water is now on board and the ship's anchor is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later here you know taking the eagle's nest which is not on the map. well market is 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 folk make sailing in these conditions dangerous so

the ship comes to a halt. range. of gets into a motorboat to have. a mole called an old friend of his is in charge of a large house. so gay lives there with his wife the cape covers an area of just over one square kilometer. you want to know. not hello there hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape town yeah i made some pies fresh from the isle then make some tea if you wait a minute oh thank you my idea and the dish to mislead takes care of the household chores so ok is responsible for maintaining the lighthouse he has to be a jack of all trades there is nobody to help if something goes wrong with instance
4:49 pm
you know we're proud to live here even if it means living so far away. we are like border guards. it's like living at the end of the world that's true there are rocks on one side and sea on the other there are no people around here you see 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 lighthouse 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 and 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 a dentistry of sorts. towards evening to ship the parts for the ski arlen's. the only follow this will meet with fellow scientists studying sea lions. we're now approaching meticulous island the main destination of our trip a place is very beautiful and interesting here the sea is about a hundred meters deep ships' our best to steer clear of this place during a storm or change inside there is no telling what tricks it may have in store for you. what. the pacific's northernmost habitats of sea
4:51 pm
lions is all much to kill island in the late one nine hundred eighty s. scientists raise the alarm after discovering a dramatic fall 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 adult sea lions a shoot away from the beach then they were called the pups so as to estimate the size of the population actually the newborns of intact and given a number. the procedure makes it possible strike the animal's movements in the sea of a hot. for roughly twenty years which is the average large span of a c lot. recently spoke obviously the animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season will 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 down to the smallest detail to
4:52 pm
start that ministry an anaesthetic to the ceiling and pups to ensure a painless operation. because the sea lions breathe in a special gas for about three minutes he falls asleep and weeks absent ten minutes later he doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. few. chips move with him i am going to take some blood samples if the blood test will tell us something about the state of the new borns felf to see if they're healthy enough that's all right dear 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 ashford for help as the toast is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs an average of twenty seven kilograms space special fittings i think it's that scott nice to me because. i can just
4:53 pm
help us carry a little sound like a peaceful. can't let them look like. as biologists label the sea lion 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 brought together researchers from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as they can. really important for us to work us in an american colleagues in russian colleagues because dorsey lines don't look at the border and say oh stuff it was america over there and russia over here they swim across the border quite frequently so we have to work in cooperation to better understand the nature that goes across the borders is doing whether they're doing well or not right we need to do to manage them. in early spring see loans come to the beach well much to kill island over the b.o.'s males of the first two or roy they have to fight for
4:54 pm
a place on the feet. this ring sound means the sea lion has laid claim to the area . i have been working with such animals for more than twenty years but i'm still in they said their behavior sea lions on shore behave very differently at sea. but given your ship with me when they're on the beach they're agile like birds but at sea they get very inquisitive they approach tigers in stick with them for some time but they frighten such an especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attacking humans. that has never happened before but the. the scientists have labeled two hundred c. law and pops each of the animals now has difficulty recording their weight and individual characteristics. after a day or two it will be as humans were never here to sea lions will return to their
4:55 pm
daily routine lying around on the beach going to sea in search of food and they're sitting there pops. off of the departure of their colleagues the following morning the only foliage is of the state nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies of. the even people shouting at the top of the voices and holding up a few more than four and a half million in a magical island even though it's only six square kilometers they are few and far between in the south because the wind is a strong cliffs it's the central part of the tracks most interest. there's a difference between nothing happened will look for example occupy narrow cliff cornices. make their nests among rocks this means that there are no free plots of land and the birds occupy the entire island. just would like to spend
4:56 pm
more toys and research. it is a very well placed to get the previous expedition into haiti. and. with no results this time. of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not difficult it's not like. it starts a voyage where you have no water no fruits and many health problems i see even more than i expected because i've been very lucky to be here at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship leaves methinks you island during just before dusk. in the mess room ashford learns how to cook traditional russian borscht. boots potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add ten just to. the expedition members and now on the last night for the ship it is
4:57 pm
obvious that everyone is tired but everyone is reflecting on the vivid impressions of the trip even those that have been here before the captain says jokingly that next time elsie ashford will combine both jobs as researcher and the cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets a course back to make it a hump but whale again appears on the horizon just like during the voyage to the empty islands the expedition to the maggot and the nature reserve is nearing its end it has covered more than a thousand kilometers in ten days and collected a wealth of material for the study. the team's mission is complete. wealthy british style. that's not on the title of.
