1:50 pm
archipelago. close to the weather station of the remains of a steam engine it was brought here by willis in the early nineteenth century. and they were whalers from north america well this is where large amounts of found where when dirty nearly three to one grinder was used to mincemeat. there were lots of whales but there was no electricity only machines the power saw prevention the meat grinders were all driven by belt like you lay here two belts were used. yes martin yeah. anatoly over juke and sixty two years old but he said for the forest always takes his trusty rifle with him to ward off any bad as. if you carry a rifle with you you won't come across anybody for months with him but the moment
1:51 pm
you don't see a bear is bound to appear that's why you need this moment and. the bears on shank's all under a big threat they tend to come out i'm a police food supplies rather than the hunter himself. i mean there in my case was yards from the law i had made sure she couldn't get inside the store house so she sent her cub there the cubs threw out what i could find in the store house and when the two men outside had a big feast. but as a fan don't all of the shuttle islands there are a total of two hundred living here trails nearly always leads to the miles of small rivers where fish school is that an encounter with a bat is most likely sham top as our inquisitive but not aggressive. yeah he's the boss and he's behaving like one worked on me.
1:52 pm
but i mean those tapes and mounds as if he were working lunch like ground really with a rebirth it looks like a clumsy animal but he would catch up with you in no time. even if you get out of your wits but you'll still not be as fast as he means what i mean. there's no trace of him anymore. no the bad has retreated to the forest the captain can lay in the year old to allow the travelers to go ashore and cook you know. just my mom will catch some fish leave it for a different pound if they like it right oh boiled could be spider him thank you sweet fish. a small river flows into the sea of a halt the storm is turned into a lake by blocking it with a mass of riverside pebbles a log school of salmon approaches the shore as the fish try to head off the
1:53 pm
spawning but it is impossible to catch any during the spawning season salmon stop eating and ignore the bait travellers are really happy to finally land some freshwater fish. worth of red on best seem to be only too willing to get cause i can't help but on the line. their family she she had them when i did. there are dozens of fresh water and salt water fish to be found in the shuttle islands among them a hunchback simon flatfish and trout. in the morning to your like he had threats made destination to cheap oil and. you know what you wanted. we were approaching to teach island it's in the northeastern straits going to look we can't see anything because of the fog or so we have to
1:54 pm
rely on navigational aids if we are lucky enough we might see a colony of seals. with the help of the g.p.s. the yacht makes its way through thick fog and drops bank up by the island. to come on the waiting for the signal. to. drop like say come and say when go ahead. all in this home to numerous recurrence here see goals cormorants and make nests. but the most interesting attraction of the island is the vast colony of seals the travellers a lucky to take a picture of them. when the animal sunbathing on the beach they are reluctant to go
1:55 pm
on the water during low tide this is the best trying to get close to them. i think this is going on as co when we were still on board we noticed some biting seals we're going see try to get closer and touch them. several species of sea mammal inhabit shantelle islands the ring seal is one of the most common they feed on mullahs and ground fish for a long time seals were the target of hunters but now the practice is banned. the seals do notice the people and most of the russians in the water but they don't head out too far hundreds of inquisitive always pop up all over the place the animals are puzzled rather than scared humans are a very rare sight here. because. seals can be very
1:56 pm
aggressive they can even bite that's why the tourists treat these creatures with care. just look at this little tail and flee. cultural seals move slowly but they are excellent swimmers they can dive down to a depth the five hundred metres in search of food. the nikkei has covered almost seven hundred kilometers it's still just a couple one third of that distance again to come full circle but then the return journey always seems easy.
