typically they hide on the ice. the white sea is then somehow topped. off 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. they are behaving strangely today. show you why you had a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song or something wrong with your first. before you start singing these new. water your best. is sure. let's give

our throat some fish oil. now let's try to get off the. sailors have dubbed baluga whales canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make . it's. just much they want to bring us to ring was a. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives. baluga cobs are of a dark blue color. when they're one year old they turn gray like these two female whales. later their skin. acquires

a milky shadings. yes sure those thought this is exactly how they should be kept but the people in society should know that the bloke a whale is not a stupid fish as many believe the. global we need to tell him that these intelligent creatures are worthy of perspex a sniff not affection i think it's up to the nerium emulates to conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible he's nigeria's new. in the come to luck should day of the whites see specialists from the petersburg branch of the scenario in cooperation with the optics circle dive center of set up an opening closure to believe the 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 well 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 pull the divers visitors flock to from different countries only around they dream of getting a close look appealing to whales and swimming with them in the natural habitats. yet before they're allowed to do so even experienced divers have to attend a special i stipend call i heard about. this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip. i thought for got to do it moving to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit species for the top of photography definitely does speak to people in south africa but the watch either i don't know where it is of all it's a whole. experience for me and. i've been diving for the past eight nine years most

seen topic a war. southeast asia. mediterranean away called cold water but now. it's warm water compared to here. in order to get to the depths of the sea winter divers first have to break through the frozen sea. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving school. it is hard work so the divers take the short intervals. but. this device was invented by an ancient people it's a type of it was taken it a step further and designed intelligent devices no deals to lift chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of.

i starting in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hot spots furnace there's a situated near every water hole here the divers change and comfort themselves after diving. according to international diving regulations should be certified by the professional association of diving instructors before venturing on to the ice. divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insulated by small films and into the suit ok to have them. and then you have priced it which is older but it has fields if

you build us a theory it's not supposed to allow. you have an inflamed. and it up though here 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 on the sea you have to get ridges that they 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 thora tricks 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 take 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. by starving 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 gardens of kelp scattered about. cold water is the best environment for this seaweed.

fish move slowly through the cold water to. the sea bass so 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.m. a nice feed on plankton and other old comic-con tickles the given i take greenpeace to the water of the white sea.

just did it very. clear for sure had a more tab. i didn't want to come where. we only need ice cream that's going to be have an. effect after that. thing where you. go. 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 camilla fail often visits this remote place in the past he would only dive into the ice with scuba gear. now he prefers to ride over the top with a special sledge and

a parachute good manners but almost what i like a bug hide sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes a three metre parachute is good for strong winds and the 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 pull you forward if you want me to push. my. luck. by much be a good one you catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should yeah it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed to go i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration you know because i am fully aware of the infinite power

of nature's forces used to just do it well they could pulverize my yacht sledge and kite in no time and 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. culture is that so much of a lot of people that don't work tell the fans what does the year two thousand and twelve hold for the. world will be is trivial and it's the year before who will set

the trends who will stay in power and. the close up team has been to. earth plays to the most ambitious football club in the world. if. not all party goes to the far east where the timber industry attracts the legendary siberian tigers where the ancient native community loses its way in the modern world. and where the country's mineral wealth starts its way across the ocean. and well come to the bars creature. 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

. 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 belugas numa and match the owner to the wife see dolphinarium when they were about one year old. alexandra natalia became their foster parents they tended 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 if we're very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them and to thing you're sure what's most important is that this is not a circus of showing off animals ability to leap a carry balsam that we have been predicting here people simply communicate with a living creature as you will see just all. belugas get attached to humans very quickly. if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the. click here sometimes their skin ages you and i have certainly experienced that but they have no hands to

scratch the spot so they like being scratched out of what you offer to turn it 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. if. this is an offshore enclosure of the belugas even a natural environment in winter time these palooka whales always flock to go for 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 mcgrew 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 five hundred years ago coast to all those. fishing and hunting with their means of subsistence. many of them drowned during hurricanes and storms. locals still put up landmarks 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 coastal is. the oldest one is jordan i already which means black river. it is first mentioned in historical square. 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 sea trips. was asia and i also look at the women went fishing in the city on rowing boats as 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 spinning with their own in a particular way. as men usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative at the local women sit facing each other like this i think i do i do that is what i've heard also. so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and those in a moment which is often. in winter time far from cho not rich they're always several shots out of sea belonging to divers. they were located in front of the rocky shores of bio filter back. to white seas under the influence of

the time it was the 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. pond 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 of that with amount that would listenings that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping on each of the buildings eyes frozen to the wrong crowd. and by a filter bay divers learn how to work in pairs on their own so that they will be

able to dive under the ice without an instructor. some diver 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 and you 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 formal panic very difficult to get out of that so. 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 cold because plankton lurking among the rocks an ice cleans the water and also gives it unique colors. divers call this place the ice kingdom. plus 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 with a parallel world with a parallel dimension everything is different here i think people know much more

about how to space than they do about what's under the sea which is visions from bubbles. there are hundreds of maritime biological research stations in the world today one of the most remote ones is in the condo luxor 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 yellin across nova has served at 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 on the females to race their baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow they flash things together with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is a convenient 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 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 polar 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 polluters 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 blue whales in their natural habitat. clashes. our task is to provide

a good dive so that the whale school so we are in the deep waters for a while communicate with people and then come back to the surface we treat them to fish if they fulfil the task correctly am the is the syllable in the pride and. the whales oh it's 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. the huge forehead serves as an acoustic tool thanks to that palookas has perfect echo location. 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. hello.
