to the commission is a land of extreme weather long nights here in moscow the tundra stand silently scientific impossible forests the first settlement subpoenaed him within ten miles of his ago. disparate tribes and ethnic groups blended with a perfectly divine landscape which is in stark contrast to any other place in this country. like in centuries possible today most of the financial response we hope to lay to the roads the hundreds of kilometers to complete most people get to the remote villages by helicopter from sea by crook. so most of the college peninsula lies on low hills here you also find mountains and valleys covered with fake woodland and desert the

tundra and this small region of stark natural diversity attracts tourists from across the world the bike is the most popular means of transport here for the tourists. roads are few and far between around here an accord is the best bet when it comes to traveling over such turin but if a quad bike will take you to places that no other car can reach or. the color can easily make sense. and lies within the arctic circle to the north it's washed by the barents sea what in the south it's met by the white city region is known as the gateway to the arctic. this is the starting point of most sightseeing routes around the call of the ninja timofey goes in has been in the business of taking tourists to moments when nature reserves for many years. from here we will set out from the

main lines of the call a peninsula to this readily and about she peninsulas they are the farthest temps in the northwest of our country norway lies beyond them. numerous military bases was stationed in the barents sea during the cold war after the collapse of the i into these places became open for tourists today it's possible to see the maneuvers of the nuclear submarines. but bats were this country's best kept secret is our nuclear undersea fleet is based there. but you can feast your eyes upon all kinds of submarines that regularly surface included via bait that are protected by patrol boats. on the other side of the call up an inch and

a wasicka river and ticks into the white city. a village advance ago is situated on both sides of the asteroid fifteen kilometers from the city tied to raise the water in the river to the height of up to ten meters and includes its salt content. the high tide makes it impossible to bridge the river so a motor boat serves as the local taxi service. once a week if they don't priest father may profound takes a ferry to meet his flock and hold services in a church on the opposite bank. this is where the first russian settlements appeared on the cooler peninsula through the village the original settlers were coast well as. they made their homes on these banks and mingled with local karelians and indigenous laplanders really good here

we have a mixture of populations. fishing has always been the main source of income for local people salmon was caught in the river of the rest from the same. small boats manned by three or four fishermen were able to stand up to the heavy seas but in truth back then only hope of fishermen survived beyond the age of forty. anyone going to sea in the north must know beforehand that they might never be coming back they might simply vanish into eternity is a strong gust of wind and might bring heavy snow with it with the result that they wouldn't be able to see a thing. in other words they feel that facing the sea is like facing god as the riches of this land used to be the breeding ground of numerous rivalries. in the seas fish is of course in great demand. early settlers built seaside humbert's on the collar peninsula before they started making their homes in

villages they lived here throughout the year waiting for the summer fishing season to start alexander coming off skiing and his son have reconstructed a fisherman settlement typical of the ones that existed in the late nineteenth century on the white sea coast. if you we have put it all up where it used to stand we have been trying to be as historically accurate as we can as for what is left of the old nets we don't even touch them. today alexander takes visitors on a tour of his open and museum guests can stay at his place for several days alexander treats them to fish caught only a short while ago and tells them about the life of the coast well it's one hundred years ago an exact replica of a bone features a collection of objects found here and in other settlements that they made with the help of specially treated pine or birch roots. but basically

a boat is made of blue words joined together with birch ropes were going through holes in the boards that's what the coast well as needed birch for the birch bark is used to make backpacks shoes baskets in kitchen where you can boil water in a kettle made of birch bark. the easiest way is to put hot stones from a bonfire in it. a coast well as family had to struggle to survive in the rigors of the country's finals but although they spend half their lives at sea they never learned to swim anyone who ended up in the water even in summer died of exposure within just ten minutes. let me share and i also have the white sea coast is a remarkable area for learning something interesting truly it's a magic place the air you can marvel at the infinite diversity of the natural environment.

the humble nature of the north hides a captivating beauty which never fails to attract tourists. each year many people return to go over the same groups once more. and in spite of the rigorous living conditions there are some who are even willing to move here. everybody who travels with us knows how much i love this house. timothy's dream is to purchase a house and the small plots around it with a high wind swept water site it's always cold here but timothy and his son leo need keep coming back. you know but it is a divine place because of the wind the cold weather and the ocean not to mention i

knew island over there these lands are amazing. meanwhile sixty kilometers south of the arctic tundra lies a totally different landscape but i didn't since there is or is behind these technical installations. we always have to unlock the gate before entering it. now will open it like this. there's there is there is territories under lock and key and as you can see the gate is quite massive now we can go in peace way please when the reserve was being created in one thousand nine hundred two and most of the military installations built soon after world war two had become obsolete or fallen into decay what was once a border guard tower was renovated and handed over to the reserve now all mythology is the former military installation for scientific purposes. it offers

a fantastic view of the plans we were the entire reserve and the martians leave their. reserve visitors and tourists are welcome to see all of that and take pictures. most of the reserve territory is covered with marshes their ideal for bird rookeries in spring and autumn when thousands of migrating birds stop over to rest as it turns out studying the composition of the bugs helps retrace the biological history of the region russian scientists take paid samples for tests. deposits are the best sources of information studying their layers makes it possible to estimate the rate of heat accumulation but this is also important if we are to understand the dynamic development of the natural environment because these settlements are a chronicle of nature. the unique feature of the reserve is that it covers the

territory of three countries. the natural environment is uniform on both sides of the river russia is on the east and bank norway in finland and the west russian and finnish scientists spend most of their time collecting biological material which is later studied in norwegian poetry's monitoring and conservation fredrick very important they crossed a major of course doesn't. have contravened so to understand nature and. i'll understand important issues for conservation it's of course very important to you to do studies across cross conflicts because they are irrelevant in a biological sense. practically speaking as scientists work in the same nature reserve but on different sides of a narrow river they need to go from border control just to see one another the joke is that bears are free to cross the border whenever they like without having to undergo checks and even leave knobs on the border posts.

it was the so much like me my theory all the. tests to see people live healthy is one of the kings of the so-called come into the world into our history of adopted policies. and push for a ten year old boy. you keep it has developed it was. never explained to him why it's ok. most people at the point of looking down in time to pull the trigger became concious objectors. remember squeezing the trigger and. see him go down all i remember is that we shall attempt such.

luck sire soldiers. and so is the soul trying to kill us we're trying to kill them that's just how we face a war. z z. k. i went to the war zone and i started seeing how i need to change. the way they do their lives for a lot of us that's why microcosms. oh oh oh oh oh oh.

please. priests. is the enemy over for your media projects beyond the r t. moments because the largest city within the arctic circle it's also the largest ice free port of the mills the nonskid situated around in the barents sea the sea itself is sometimes covered with an ice during severe winters of the bay always stays ice free. the world's first nuclear powered icebreaker was called lemon and was launched from movements in one nine hundred fifty seven today it's a floating museum by a peer of the city's perth with the help of the icebreaker fleet it was possible to explore the russian arctic only around the time spent sailing was limited only by

the amount of food a group during winter the crew would stay on the ship for several months the onboard clinic regularly perform surgeries the unique for that time. no expense was spared on the fine timber interior of the first nuclear icebreaker. hours can be spent wondering around the boat looking inside the cabins of the crew who maintains the nuclear reactors the open bridge overlooks the pores and the beautiful bay of them about. two deputies. who are in ancient times all the local nobility used to come here young people first settled there moments fountains of years ago this odd looking manmade structure that weighs many tons is at least ten thousand years old it's known as a megalith faced with stones along the perimeter it's reminiscent of britain's stonehenge once ideal thought. they would sit on this stone in front of the structure that was supposed to attract spirits and gods as eyewitnesses cheerless

sworn oath with this initiation ceremony complete their work and they were now fully entitled to rule where such leaders were not respected at all if they never came here. in one month there are a total of fifty four megaliths when viewed from above they form a regular parabola around the back eight ancient people are thought to have had a purpose and arranging the structures this way it's believed the local tribes thought these stones have the power to protect them from the sea. we are in the northern sector of the stone parabola stones that were supposed to protect more months than the people who it's those words didn't know what they were doing they raise their hand against one of the few sacred things that still remain in this land this means that the silent guardians of more months can no longer defend themselves. thousands of years from now archaeologists might well

regard the inscriptions as priceless treasures for now though they've yet to decipher the meaning of these mysterious lines discovered in the wilderness a hundred kilometers to the north or more about walker affinity and caves and shelters that may have been used by ancient people as another point on the tourist itinerary mapped out by tina fey will goshen scientists call such drawings petroglyphs but what they mean is still a mystery you've or you can show us the petroglyphs found here so far are about five thousand years old on average these ones were discovered by a navy man in one nine hundred forty three he then told scientists about them the scientists then officially recorded them right after world war two was written. to save him in raids on the call of the ancient he knows this area all through well at the beginning of the year two thousand to move a move to moscow today every year as

a tour guide he brings visitors to his home. for seasonal coast weller's have villages here. there when you visit them you're surprised by the fact that even in such a remote god for second place these people still don't want to leave you no paper fair living there. was you know was the first russian settlement on the corner can ensure its first mention in records dating from the early fifteenth century church of the assumption dating back to the seventeenth century is the oldest structure surviving to this day it was built without a single male although fasteners are made of wood only axes we used to fashion the logs even the ends of the logs were chopped off rather than sawn off the consulship this method affects the structure of the word houdini's anything that might damage it such as small as chair or the like is not allowed to seep into it. the church fell into decay in soviet times and its head father mitra found as made

every effort to have it renovated services will eventually resume here until then worshippers use a nearby church that was built a hundred years later. the apocalypse in a way in the middle of my immediate family has served in the navy my great grandfather and my brother my father was a submarine and i served in the navy for twenty six years as a commanding officer i've been among the eleven years. twenty kilometers down the physical river mines a local anomaly it's the arctic desert. larry has a call for us devoted his life to combat in invading deserts according to his theory the land was originally at the bottom of the seat thousands of years ago the sea receded and the grass and trees grew in the form a see that. but now for a thin layer of soil the sound is returning and scattered around by the ruling on

village homes on the river and destroying the pine forest and other vegetation. these pines were ruined by the shifting sand. but some trees managed to escape the onslaught of corona they are in very good condition now they're going to mean for the three. or four three hundred and that's. one of the most common theories claims the appearance of the cause a man deserts and farming numerous herds of animals ate the grass away and churned up the ground with that. overlap made the soil so thin that it allowed the sams to focus from within this is one of the unique trees still standing here. the upper part of the roots shows the same level that was here when the forest was still around it was this high. so when his sense shifted

a sand layer of about one and a half meters high towards the river. then he has a cause to spend years developing technology to monitor the advance of because i'm a desert. his work has now yielded positive results the sand the bones towards the forest is now in checking eighty eight hours of still be recalibrated the most pressing task now is saving the river and the village only four streets of houses remain on the riverbank although there were six hundred years ago. this is. the main task is coming up with a way to grow a forest shelter built. where we are to prevent sand from choking up the river. and we have spent five years developing various technologies and introduced one of the best methods in the sector was a huge involves growing pines together with herbaceous vegetation and. in spite of

the scientists achievements villages continue to abandon their homes because they are gradually becoming covered with sand for tourists it's ruining the landscape for the locals it's a disaster. another strange phenomenon here is the wild horses which are not frightened of humans trailblazers originally brought common russian horses along with stocky one from your committee or over the years the two bred together resulting in these grey handsome animals with a distinctive stripe running down their spines. this new breed boasts the impressive build of their russian ancestors and the ability to find food on the snow thanks to their jacket heritage. wild horses are another thing that people of heard about it but have never seen them as for the bear and see there's a lot of magic in it.

the banshee peninsula is tim a favor goes ins favorite tourist destination this time he's accompanied by his fourteen year old son. clearing obstacles is all part of the fall a touch of activity in an otherwise meditative journey. it's rare that you find a car out here the terrain around is so rugged that even a four by four can't get to some places on the up side this means out the peninsula has so far been spared the rush of people attracted by rich fishing areas and the splendor the landscape the king the nikkei is like a small cliff creek a moment of offering coverage with. a cross commemorating folding save it stands it several years ago to my face and is some limited found a slap on the side. when making off the moss place over it was covered with

inscriptions. and this is were made by sailors waiting for storms and. they were to write about how long they waited how many times they returned here and when some of inscriptions give details of why they came here. inscriptions written in dozens of languages were left by russians danes swedes and many others hundreds of years separate one inscription from another. called the peninsula has always attracted attention but some days its feel as weather and long winter nights the prevented people from discovering its true future. the are still many secrets to reveal.
