also can be seen through holes in the ice. cold squeals and cracking sounds can often be good around them. this is how so-called canaries of the sea communicate. typically they hide under the ice the white sea is the natural habitat. far from the civilized world in the north of russia on the coast of the white sea sea canaries are communicating with people with great pleasure in the open waters.

of a q they are behaving strangely today. sure why you had a canary why did you feel like giving us a song it was something wrong with your first step. before you start singing vs. a water your best go into is sure. was a little let's give our throat some fish oil. bath now let's try to get off. sailors have dubbed palooka whales sea canaries because of their peculiar sounds they make. my three want to bring us tiring. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals

from their relatives. blue good carbs are of a dark blue color. when they are one year old they turn gray like these two female whales. later their skin acquires a milky shade. yes this is exactly how they should be kept by the people and society should know that the bloke a whale is not a stupid fish as many believe that. we need to tell him that these intelligent creatures are worthy of perspex a sniff not affection i think. the nerium amulets the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible nice reason and. in the come the luck should day of the white see specialists from the speeches but branch of the. incorporation with the optics circle dive center of set up an open

enclosure for baluga whales. the nearest settlement is the village of mill mcu but located on the coast of the white sea. it was a stoppage by local fisherman known as coast while as in the twentieth century. this place is very remote and difficult to reach only dirt roads in the cold sea found that. such things do not go. the doctors visit to see if from different countries. they dream of getting a close look at. swimming with them in their natural habitats. to do so even experienced divers have to attend a special event called i heard about. this same company. this trip. and then when they said they were doing this dive with.

got to do it russia. was it displaced to visit a species of photography did. you speak to people to watch that. it's a whole new experience for me and i your i have been diving for the past eight nine years most seem topical or. most in southeast asia. mediterranean away called cold water but now. it's the warm water copyeditor here. in order to get to see divers first to break through the frozen sea. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving spot. so the divers take. into.

this device was invented by an ancient people it's a type believe it was taken it a step further and designed intelligent devices snowmobiles to live chunks of. nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of. living. i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hotspots bonuses are situated near every waterhole pier the divers change and comfort themselves after diving. according to international

diving regulations should be certified by the professional association of diving instructor has the full venturing onto the ice. divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insolated by a small film of air into the suit ok ok so you have to meet up and then you have a dry suit which is all that once it has seals he is using that in theory it's not supposed to allow him if you have an inflated post here and if he is say to keep it comfortable and you don't get squashed in the water with the pressure you put air into the suit keeps the nice and comfy and then if you're coming up close you have to get ridges that think ventured out through here. a lot of preparation is needed before diving under the ice. it takes time to put on a dry suit as well as making thorough checks on the equipment before finally

getting used to the cold water. divers always had under the ice tethered to a safety line which is controlled by a team member above pick there over your head you're ok you're ok the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor you like to tosca is to learn to navigate on to the ice to exchange signals with your partner correctly and to control the equipment. i study ving is fraught with danger the visibility beneath is only twenty to twenty five meters if the breathing apparatus fails the diver will not be able to surface immediately because of the ice above. the diver has to be aware of where the exit is.

even in winter time life goes on under the white sea ice. on the seabed near the bolshoi christofi island there are underwater covens of kelp scattered about. cold water is the best environment for this seaweed. fish move slowly through the cold war to the sea bass are used to the divers and often let them come up very close. they look so menacing and they're not even afraid of bright light. the thread like tentacles of the sea anemones give the seabed a fluffy comment. c.n.n. money's feed on plankton and other old comic con tickles the given to take greenpeace to the water of the white sea.

dog. just. get it very. dangerous for sure head toward her. it was true ari didn't want to come or. we only need some ice cream that's going to be heaven. if it. were there.

for quite a few people the underwater world is not the only attraction of the white sea it's smooth ice is an excellent environment to kite sledging fountains. only of failed often visits this remote place in the past he would only dive under the ice with scuba gear now he prefers to ride over the top with a special sledge and a parachute good men are almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes or a three metre parachute is good for strong winds a six to seven metre parachute is the right size for milder winds this one is nine and a half meters their case for any weather conditions or all of them will kill you forward it won't get you push.

by much be a good book but you're catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed to go i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration because i am fully aware of the infinite power of nature's forces used to just do it or they could pulverize my yacht sledge and kite in no time to make mincemeat out of me but yesterday. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle a leg is finally able to catch the wind. on some.

science technology innovation called the eastham elements from around russia we've dumped the huge earth covered. beluga trainer alexander and biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of new monkey and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center

. well so are you ready. palooka wails of plays an important role in their lives this is where they first met and then got married. let's go below go. to the believer's numa and much owner were brought to the white sea dolphinarium when they were about one year old. alexandra natalia became their foster parents they tended fed and trained them. keeping in touch with palookas is not only that job but it is also a hobby and a way of relaxation. training

belugas means playing with them any hostility against them is totally ruled out. whales and dolphins have an acute sense of how humans are disposed towards them they respond to friendly treatment. and of course very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them and to thing in your show you what's most important is that this is not a circus of showing off the animals ability to carry balls in the eighty's when we have been predicting here people simply communicate with a living creature as rooms this is the old. palookas gets attached to humans very quickly. if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the youth click here sometimes their skin h's you and i have certainly experienced that but they have no hands to

scratch the spot so they like being scratched by to afford to turn over and offer their sides will make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots. we also message their stout bodies. they open their mouth but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking tongues. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off we protect our charges and if. this is an offshore enclosure of the belugas even a natural environment in wintertime these palooka whales always flock to go swell winds and currents create cracks and holes in the ice. then they can resurface to brief. large patches of open water close to the village of new never freeze over. according to geological

evidence the white sea appeared some twenty thousand years ago. the people who first settled in this northern land find hundred years ago coast to as. fishing and hunting with their means of subsistence. many of them drowned during hurricanes and storms. locals still put up lamarck's of the most dangerous sites they serve as a warning to others. along the shore of the white sea their villages founded hundreds of years ago by coast welders. the oldest one is jordan i read which means black river. it is first mentioned in historical school. in fifteen eleven. the church stands above the village it was named after some trifle the protector of hunters and fishermen. according to local tradition this church

had to look like a ship. sailed north along the white sea coast and reach the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. as asia and i've also looked at the women went fishing in the sea on rowing boats they caught fish many kilometers away from their homes and they went by these robots not by ships you can still see women on such boats can lose their own in a particular way saddos men usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative at the local women sit facing each other like this thing why do they do this. for girls are so silly so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and the load which is off. in winter time far from. their own was several shots out to sea belonging to divers. they were located in front of the rocky shore of bio filter bank. the white seas

under the influence of the tide it was a level of the shore rises up and down twice a day. in the bay even in winter you can see a change of ice level of the coastline. you know why there are daily tides in the whites only what they're triggered by the moon's orbit around the earth through of the amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two mazes both in summer and in winter all of the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this level at that would you want that with little names that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the buildings eyes frozen to the rock. in bio filter back a diver's learn how to work in pairs on their own so that they will be able to dive

under the ice without an instructor. some divers stand above the ice hole and control those who are underwater then they swap places. after the first two dips divers understand clearly that their lives depend on those above the ice. when everything is working fine it's fine but are they funny the moment something goes wrong you have what they called narrowing of vision you'd use the ability to to think like which increases your breathing and this and creates a panic so it's like a circle you just create more and more panic very difficult to get out of that side . besides the obvious part of getting you back to the fold this is like an umbilical cord that keeps you calm. in the depths of the ice world the sense of danger is very relative. near the rocks piles of ice a formed. ice piles up of the white sea coast due to the ebb and flow.

huge chunks of ice create corridors and labyrinths stretching over many meters. this is the underwater world bio filter bank. it is so cool because plankton lurking on the rocks in ice cleans the water and also gives it unique colors. divers call this place the ice kingdom. bus so you can fly zone of the planet nobody can certainly. not now says the americans a visitor at the moon's probes of landed on mars and venus but actually another planet is right here on earth a parallel world with a parallel dimension everything is different here and i think people know much more

about how to space than they do about what's under the seat of bush's visions of the world. there are hundreds of maritime biological research stations in the world today one of the most remote ones is in the county laps of gulf of the white sea. and old wind powered generator is the symbol of the bottle tickle research station belonging to moscow state university. only a handful of staff stays at the station in winter young students from moscow state university's biological faculty often pairing their theses presentations. biologist yelling across nova a search of the station for twenty five years she often comes here with family in winter. she studies c i did ducks sure and i stay here. i just spend nearly all of the life time on water and in the end. it is only during

the brief reproduction period that they make nests on the shore they always stick together on land as they do on the sea. young female dogs with add their own nestlings to help the out of females to race baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flash things together with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is the convenience thing to do. on. the water in the white sea remains cold even in summer time but the odds of dogs are never affected by the cold water they bob in the waves the whole day. is the best biological heat insulator it doesn't lead to one thought in the old days where there were new modern synthetic materials around the fluff was used to make clothes for pole

explorers and sleeping bags and it's indeed an excellent insulator. like seabirds beluga whales simply turned feel the cold the temperature of their bodies always stays at ninety eight point six degrees fahrenheit thirty seven degrees celsius. the thick layer of hypodermic fat keeps the heat in well however it makes them look somewhat cumbersome. instinct compels belugas to save energy. they're easy movements never exhibit aggression. after a brief course of ice diving almost all divers go swimming with belugas in an open enclosure. for many it is a dream come true because nowhere else in the world can you communicate with the little whales in their natural habitat. our task is to provide

a good dive so that the whale school so when they deep waters for a while communicate with people and then come back to the surface we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correctly am yes this elephant in the pride and. the whales also is careful divers cannot move as fast and graciously as they count so they adjust themselves to the divers movements. people always talk to the whales in their own language but beluga whales can barely hear human speech they perceive high frequency sounds. their huge forehead serves as an acoustic tool thanks to that palookas hope effect

echolocation. in communicating with human beings they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers or was calm feeling that the whales understand them perfectly and even on so back with their unusual speech. for that reason sailors nicknamed them sea canaries.
