after israel's onslaught on gaza palestinians continue their fight not just for their lives this time but for justice in court the twenty two day war it left around fifteen hundred palestinians dead. up next star to reveals the treasures of snowy siberia as our special report comes from beyond the tiger region a true winter fairy tale from mother nature here on our team. eastern cyan is one of siberia's least explored areas. it's the geographical center of asia the mountain ridge of eastern cyan stretches for one thousand kilometers from east to west. secluded need the russian mongolian border south siberia is nature remains pristine and untouched by man.

for tourists who braving the nature of the plan is to run snowmobiles for hundreds of kilometers to find a valley studded with hot springs civilizations yet to spread as far as the valley . be anything is that it's surrounded by steep rocks dense forests and pokes. that can be reached only in winter riding in the frozen rivers and lakes. it's not the first time the participants of this expedition travelled together. each person has

a track record of thousands of kilometers covered on snowmobiles in many different parts of russia. traveling along frozen rivers and lakes is extremely dangerous. a snowmobile may fall through the ice it any moment. reducing the risk to minimum the tourists travel in a special formation the first snowmobile plows through in front and is then followed by the rest. i am going into to the ski. one series three. is just three hundred kilometers of the crow flies from the starting point to the hot springs however the expedition doesn't have the luxury of flight so it may take up to two weeks for them to cover the distance which is peppered with many obstacles. the cyan mountains will form from ancient volcanic rocks during the last ice age.

the glass is slid down creating shock peaks and deep valleys. the glass is then settled into lakes giving birth to rivers and numerous waterfalls. in which they covered with thick ice of intricate shapes. form over the bottom of the shape of the waterfall changes swan soaring maybe even twice a day changes occur as years go by this year the shape of the blocks of frost in icicles are squad different the pattern is never repeated.

not far away from the waterfall there is a peculiar case. the river flow here brings pieces of wood to fanciful shapes polished to perfection by the water and stands. here have a good head. and this case is for you. these pieces of wood to evoke or server entry fancy. this space might look like an elephant lifting its trunk and if you turn it differently you me see your hair and standing on one face if i keep turning it this way or another anyone can have his or her own idea of what it is. the oldest figures are placed on the cave. this display will not last for long however the high water is

a spring will soon wash them away. the tourist the slowly pressing on woods stepping over obstacles and regularly checking the map it's quite easy to lose one's way in the cyan because the main road. constantly keeps branching into smaller tributaries that all look the same if there will be three tributaries left from the left hand side is very or turning right. and. scientists have discovered several engines sightsee in the east and cyan. according to archaeologists people first settled here during the bronze age which is shown by cave paintings that have survived to this day. these works of prehistoric artists

well preserved and can still be made out thousands of years down the line. did you see that it's like cribs and was fun to arrange here looks like it see that shape that's they had arranged it's typical for them to crane in motion like that it's amazing thousands of years have passed and the paint is still here. a natural mineral could wave a light serves as a bind in the ancient paint. it doesn't dissolve in water keeping the pictures preserved to this day. ancient people use red colored minerals like hema tight and cinnabon to make their paints. the outlines of these pictures were hans more than once. scientists believe the ancient residents would have performed

magical rituals at the rocks with cave paintings. it was believed the spirits of make sure would return ate them and hunting and cattle breeding. the it's so quiet here the river makes nearly no noise and there is no northerly wind so there is a curve in the river the place is sunlit and swarm ancient men always love to be warm you can assume with certainty that there used to be some heartsore caves our ancestors lived and you feel. when the travellers climbed up one of the rocks they found a small cave hidden inside it's impossible to see it from beneath. before they gaze take a look at the still. i've never seen anything like it. it looks like a real tool of an engine man a flint used to skin animals and cutting meat good fine well done men well and yet

. it is commonly known the ancient people first came to siberia from various regions of europe in asia they were nomads and migrated in search of food and good hunting. the first settlements appeared in southern siberia in the third century a.d. descendants of the first settlers still reside in eastern cyan. they call themselves to follow out of and their motherland this to follow area. the village of alec jail which means free land is their capital. the followers have one of the smallest populations in russia according to the latest census there are less than seven hundred left. yet this doesn't hinder them in taking good care of their culture and customs. that is that now class we're going to draw our remained to

hear god knows what is the toffler name for it. right even and what's the time for a name for a small reindeer under three years old the one without whore it's. a knight chick well down the most popular themes for the two for our children's drawings are related to nature. well my dad is a hunter he takes me to the tiger every summer i have seen a musk deer and an elk. the last little while our kids undistinguished as i notice with a natural inability to tell lies the children are very frank and honest as they can easily telephones know that love and they've got a great musical ear although. the laws are very musical people. during celebrations or who are present grouped

together in a circle and don'ts around the fire. the shaman is the leader of the dance dictating the rhythm and the movements. so once you've been through this shaman is on with a bear of a good tradition but at any celebration he supposed to be present so as to drive off evil spirits with the help of good spirits the shaman uses around drum that symbolizes the sun and this kind of a clever resembles a ring deal that. i can derive is a native to follow and the oldest resident of the village as the years have passed no major changes to his life have occurred like his ancestors spartak worships the spirits of rocks rivers and the tiger. followers have always

worshipped the spirit of the tiger. during hunting when you sit down to have tea before lodging for the night you should always go out and splash tea to the four winds to secure a successful hunt. from october to february most of the males of alec venture out into the tiger to graze the reindeer and hunt sable and squirrel. that you should try and heated hard but that's so that all the cones fall off the cedar gather the locals don't only hunt for animals but also gather seed of cones the practice has been unchanged for centuries. give them to this cedars are a source of nutrition for the whole of the siberian tiger not just for humans the very one from a mouse or a not head big sized animal

a canal kora bear or leave off cedar. the processing of cedar cones developed in the twentieth century. the cedar not trade became one of the most profitable and tougher laryea thanks. when it's a good harvest even the women will join the able bodied males out in the taiga to gather the nuts. here we have a field not ready to be eaten.

whether you dive from high or to the depths. catch the power of the wind or drift in the beauty of the currents. being well prepared is a must and if you're lucky enough you'll never forget your experience only nice firm a screen that's going to be heading. in the flight see up close and below the ice on r.t.e. . right to clean a ghost town. squandered money. abandon mine. what is. your new sixty square kilometers or new one mental illness nation and those who are still surprisingly alive and finding we're just. getting bad out here.

but not saying hardly any birds squirrels you know. darks you know i don't know what's going on here. concrete monarchy. easton cyan boasts a harsh continental climates summers a very short and cool here while winter is a long and severe. temperatures have been known to plummet. forecasters monitor extreme frosts and climate changes which often occur in eastern cyan. hello hello. over if you would like to ask you

a question is our expedition is heading across the eastern side. so we would like to know the weather forecast for the next few days. no sharp changes are expected a short period of personal attention including snow moderates temperatures are expected from ten to twelve below zero. despite the harsh winters in eastern cyan there is own swiss snow never falls even during severe frosty periods. weather specialists believe the reason for such unusual zones is the strong wind that blows the snow way from such areas. local residents believe these places have magical properties. where there is a black rock in big black boulders. i had been told never to walk along that sacred place. i begin thinking to myself so what nothing

terrible will happen. so i sat up on a reindeer and wonder. all of a sudden the reindeer panic and begin to turn back. i tried to rein it in but it kept refusing turning back each time then we both fell down. it all seemed as if the spirit of the rock was mooning me off saying don't pass through here. not far from the blank rock the tourists feel some simple natural influence on themselves why. of the snowmobiles sunk under the ice bring their rope.

the other drivers bypass the dangerous posture and begin a salvage operation. don't rev the engine break the tracks stop. overcurious them with so waterway guards placed across with broken equipment to try to fix it i was going to see if the ice would hold well enough trucks. the black rock area is one of the abnormal zones where there is practically no snow . every sector of this barren land makes operating snowmobiles extremely difficult . by being forced to ride. such vehicles break down very quickly thank you.

there are many such areas but they stretch for about twenty to thirty kilometers from west to east and launch strips. me only way to travel is on the river not a single step aside. just a few kilometers from the past the weather in the landscape changed dramatically. instead because the sun is wrong. for a place by huge snow drifts. schemes and. such obstacles.

that stick. standing on the ground look for a new guy this is the most extraordinary snow filled zone. and a half or two meters deep. the journey across the time i guess becomes more difficult to. the woods the tourists decide to stop and catch some fish because sometimes. i. in winter time i haven't seen the rapid mountain rivers concentrates in these lakes as they are rich in oxygen and food. among the fish one can find here a grayling's perch and salmon. well

there's quite a catch here good though your fluffing of poets who are supper will be a real feast. has been wondering these areas for ten years and every year these expeditions encounter an unexplained natural phenomenon. each winter nicholai observes this extraordinary unfrozen patch of water on the lake it remains on frozen even injuring severe cold snaps. while this water tastes great. according to one theory there's a strong thermal spring on the bottom of the lake it warms the water which in turn becomes saturated with thanks to the absence of an icy cover. those are usually people make ice holes on lakes to let the fish breathe but here the fish feel

rather comfortable this natural phenomenon is good both for the fish and birds that stay here in this sajjan. nic the participants of the expedition will become more frozen mountain rivers to approach they go to some of the springs are close to hound. however the tourists encounter more and more natural obstacles. a small but deep mountain spring in peace the travellers they decide to fell some trees and build the crossing. because it is this is what we call accept raced through the snowmobiles that we dug

we built a bridge this is how we entertain yourself. it closer to the end of the adventure the moon the snowmobile suffers. a. surprise sometimes it's happening. the tourists carry all the necessary tools with them in. case of emergency in the wild is hard to find help well there's no mobile coverage there. that's why the travelers have to rely only on themselves. two hours of repair works and a snowmobile is ready to go again. independent takes positions to eastern cyan a considered dangerous. a few years ago during an extreme summer rafting trip down a mountain river two of nikolai to his friends perished. together with

nikolai they dared to be the first to conquer the rapids but they were off because stuck in a so-called barrel a place under a waterfall with a strong counter current. their attempts to get out of the natural trap failed. but for more than an hour we were trying to overcome the flow but failed. or were exhausted by the cold in the water both physically and mentally. the boat overturned after which we never saw each other again. it was a miracle the nickel himself survived the nature of science and doesn't pardon anyone's mistakes even those of skilled tourists. the tourists are entering the final strait there are about twenty kilometers left

to their destination. the passes at hand after which the thermal springs will be finally in view. once again and unassailable rock blocks the travellers way. dad said. it's unlikely they'll be able to lift the snowmobiles and all the equipment that high. this snows too deep and the rocks are too high but we would need a special winch is to get us to that high which we don't have so this is it but it's the end of the line we must return. the expedition comes to an end just a few months is sure to their destination. the thermal springs remain inaccessible high up in the east and cyan mountains. this doesn't upset the travelers too much

even though they've covered nearly four hundred kilometers on snowmobiles to get here. and we're a team aren't we actually even a team can get nervous or upset at times but it's no big deal we get some tea get some rest and then the next morning everything's fine again there are more mountains are also rivers for us to conquer. the fall discipline so the expedition going bankrupt the way they came. to travel is this they'll reach their cherished go next on. her.
