a storm more than two hundred kilometers of left to reach the shanta arlen's there's no way to floyd from the weather if the vessel is cool top in a bad storm anything could happen it could capsize the waves might toss it on to a sandbank if it's close to the shore. of course this is a dangerous area for her men are the greater risk here however for anyone trying to get through this two hundred kilometer stretch will have to cover it in one go the liberal floor of course if you haven't gone to far away from the shore you can turn around and go back. in any case it depends on where the bad weather gets you it's up to the captain to make the decision. the york has a month's supply of fresh water and fuel on board however every trip across the sea of a cult is fraught with danger of ships crush it every year in two thousand and four a yacht called disappeared near the. the shores of the shanty arlen's with three

trainers and allow people to feed them each instructor trains a small group he feeds the mammals and observes that behavior if a white whale refuses to eat for a long time it is released back into the sea. which to me is the most difficult process but once the animals undergo we had to taishan in a new place training is easy each animal has a distinct character some are bold others are timid features one requires an individual approach to. seduce the white whales have not yet become accustomed to humans they are very apprehensive of them they don't show up on the surface but eventually one of them agrees to be fed fish from a human hand. when you know you hold it by the gills and be quiet for a moment it should come up to you to fix if it is

molly shannon toyland greets sailors with its rocky shores the shanta islands were discovered by russian explorers in the middle of the seventeenth century in the language of the indigenous nif people shanta means island. the participants in the expedition decide to cut the route short to get to that destination as soon as possible they head towards the opacity straight during high tide the water around the shantelle islands rises by several metres low tide rushes a gigantic mess of water back to the sea of a halt the currents in the straits between the islands a stronger than anywhere in the world the slow moving yachts runs the risk of being thrown back to shore because of the powerful currents underneath the counter flows create a swirling vortex as a result the boat looks as though it's sitting on boiling water. but there are

massive currents here storms give rise to big chaotic always making it difficult for small vessels to seal the sailing here is a dangerous side from that there are rocks in the middle of the strait if you ignore them you're in for a good deal of trouble for you know this has gone. centuries ago the shanta harlan's were part of the mainland but later the advancing sea separated them from it the archipelago occupies an area some two and a whole thousand square kilometers roughly the same size luxemburg anyone wishing to see the many natural wonders will take several months to see them. those who are fascinated with history. to those who have

the weather conditions on the islands are quite challenging summer is short and in the winter the island's a cut off from the rest of the world by severe storms. when far away from civilization your self preservation instantly kicks in if. you have to tread carefully to avoid slipping or sprain your ankle. using an eye for an axe you need to be careful you must always remember that this place is far removed from civilization there is an emergency hope won't be coming for quite some time. foodstuffs and fuel delivered to the weather station twice a year locals take good care of themselves they grow vegetables on a small plot of land and they also bake bread people here can only prepare

years when he quit the job he decided to stay here for good. since then he's been making a living by hunting and fishing he has been to nearly every remote part of the. close to the weather station of the remains of a steam engine it was brought here by whalers in the early nineteenth century. they were whalers from north america. this is where large amounts of facts were rendered. grindr was used to mincemeat. there were lots of whales but there was no electricity. old machines the powers of prevention the meat grinders world driven by bel air two belts were used. yes not in. anatoly dover duke is sixty two years old when he sets out for the forest he always

takes his trusty rifle with him to ward off any bad is. if you carry a rifle with you you won't come across anybody for months with him but the moment you don't a bear is bound to appear that's why you need this is all or no with cuba aboard. the bears on shantel island or big threat they tend to come off the anatoly food supplies rather than the hunter himself. and i mean a bear in my case it was yards of about on the line i had made sure she couldn't get inside the storehouse so she sent her cub there the cubs threw out what i could find in the store house when the two men outside had a big feast. found on all of the shanteau islands there are a total of two hundred living here the trails nearly always leads to the miles of small rivers with fish. it is that an encounter with

a bear is most likely shantel bears are inquisitive but not aggressive. yeah he's the boss and he's behaving like wonderfully. well i mean does the apes amount as if he were working on flat ground which he looks like a clumsy animal but he would catch up with you in no time. even if you a scared out of your wits you'd still not be as fast as he came into i mean. there is no trace of him any more. the bad has retreated to the forest the key. the year old to allow the travelers to go ashore and cook. my mom who has some fish leave it for and just how do they like it right oh boy let's go could be spider him you can do thanks a sweet fish. a small river flows into the sea of

a halt the storm has turned into a lake by blocking it with a mass of riverside pebbles a large school of salmon approaches the shore as the fish try to head off a sporting but it is impossible to catch any during the spawning season salmon stop eating and ignore the bait the travel is only happy to finally land some freshwater fish. words to get a read on best seem to be only too willing to get caught i can't help it on the line. there are families she had and when i do those here. there are dozens of fresh water and salt water fish to be found in the shanta. among them a hunchback simon flatfish and trout. in the morning to your liking it's ritz made destination to cheap oil and.

the put it put it. we are approaching new teaching island it's in a north eastern straight line and we can't see anything because of the fog. so we have to rely on navigational aids if we're lucky enough we might see a colony of seals you know. with the help of the g.p.s. the york makes its way through thick fog and drops bank up by the are looking to. you know come on the waiting for the signal. to. drop like say i'm going to say when go ahead sir. all in this home to numerous rookeries here seagulls cormorants and other bugs make the 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 animals sunbathing on the beach they are reluctant to go on the water during low tide this is the best trying to get close to them. but i desisted on this co when we were still on board we noticed some biting seals we were going see try to get close and touch them. several species of sea mammal inhabit the shantel islands the ring seal is one of the most common they feed on mollusks and ground fish for a long time seals were the target of hunters but now the practices and. the seals do notice the people most of the rushing to 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. ah. seals can be very aggressive they can even bite that's why the tourists treat these creatures with cat. just look at this little tail and flee. i'm sure the seals move slowly but they are excellent swimmers they can dive down to a depth of five hundred meters and so to 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.
