it is there i will try to toil with fine work social pain almost seventy one of the test results were trying to be a new year in custody were arrested just before midnight attempting to return to zuccotti park place for the occupy wall street movement first downtown to over three months ago. as the headlines just ahead. are above the arctic circle yet it still tracks tourists and kites take a visit to the wind see northern russia right now here in our city. the white sea its surface remains choked with ice for nearly seven months a year. the chilly breath of the arctic ocean keeps the water freezing cold. near the coast however the high winds and bitter cold recede. that even in winter

also can be seen through holes in the ice. board squeals and cracking sounds can often be hood around them. this is how so-called canaries of the sea communicate. typically they hide under the ice and 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. but not a queue and they are behaving strangely today. sure why you had
8:33 pm
a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song it was something wrong with your first step to gargle before you start singing business. of water your best to go into is sure was more. than was a little let's give our throat some fish oil. bath now let's try to get off. sailors have dubbed baluga whales canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make . my three want to bring is tiring. 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 shade. you know yes 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 that. we need to tell him that these intelligent creatures are worthy of perspex a sniff not affection i think. this dolphinarium emulates the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible you see it's nice reasoning. in the come the luck should day of the white see specialists from the petersburg branch of the tryst told finance in cooperation with the optics circle dive center of set up an open enclosure to believe the whales. the

nearest settlement is the village of mill mcu but ok still 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. the doctor's visit to stroll to from different countries around they dream of getting a close look appealing to whales and swimming with them in their natural habitats. before they're allowed to do so even experienced divers have to attend a special event cool head about. being with this same company the organizes this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip dive with thought for got to do it be to russia. pacific place to visit
8:36 pm
species for the top of photography did visit he does speak to people in south africa about the watch either i don't know where it is at all it's a whole experience for me you know i your war i've been diving for the past eight nine years mostly in topical war. most things southeast asia and a little bit mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's warm water compared to here. in order to get to the depths of the want to see 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 child into. the world
8:37 pm
this device was invented by an ancient people it's a type believe that it was taken it a step further and designed an intelligent device for snowmobiles to lift chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this regional structure does a job of fully man. click click click. 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 one should be certified by the professional association of
8:38 pm
diving instructor has 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 insolated by a small film of air into the suit ok ok so you have to leave out first and then you have priced it which is all that once it has seals he is using the next. theory it's not supposed to allow him to eat you have an inflatable hose here 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 a see 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 thora checks on the equipment before finally getting used to the cold water. divers always had under the ice
8:39 pm
tethered to a safety line which is controlled by a team member above take their over your head your rope your role 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 styling 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.
8:40 pm
on the seabed near the bolshoi christofi island there are underwater columns 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. there looks a 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 organic particles the given a green here to the water of the white see.

smooth ice is an excellent environment for kite sledging fans. only mullah 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 but you know it's a bit almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes or a three metre parachutist good for strong winds three and a six to seven metre parachute is the right size for milder winds this one is nine and a half meters in their case for any weather conditions or all of them will kill you forward if you want it to.
8:43 pm
by much be a good one you 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 you know because i am fully aware of the infinite power of nature's forces 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 the leg is finally able to catch the way.
8:44 pm
cultures that so much a lot of people at material that was it all worth tell the fans what this new year two thousand and twelve hold for the world would be is true and if the year before school said the trends will stay in power and. download the official antti application to i phone on my pod touch from the i choose our. one life on the go. video on demand parties mine broadcasts an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on t.v. dot com. beluga trainer alexander biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village
8:45 pm
of new monkey bugs and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center. so you're ready. for luca 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 in montreal now. 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
8:46 pm
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. therefore a very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them to singing you're sure what's most important is that this is not a circus or showing off the animals ability to leap or carry balls in their own we have been pretty clear people simply communicate with a living creature as humans 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 thinking with you when you look at your
8:47 pm
sometimes their skin aitches you and i have certainly experienced that your thoughts but they have no hands to scratch the spot. so they're like being scratched hard but you'll forget to turn it over and offer their sides but make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots one we also masseurs their stout bodies. they open their mouths but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking tellings you. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off with protect our charges and fight for that if. this is an offshore enclosure for belugas even a natural environment in wintertime these palooka whales always flock to go for swell winds and currents create cracks and holes in the ice. there they can resurface to brief. large patches of open water close to the village of new mug never freeze over thank.

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 book called coast to alice. 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 coast wallace. the oldest one is short and i already come which means black river. it is first mentioned in historical scripts 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
8:49 pm
church had to look like a ship. because two of us sailed north along the white sea coast and reached the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. was asia and i've also looked at the women went fishing in the se on rowing boats they caught fish many kilometers away from their homes and they went by these robots not by ships you can. i still see women on such boats in the third row in a particular way. as men usually sit with their backs facing forward but local women sit facing each other like this. why do they do. so so. the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and. in winter time far from. there always several shots out to sea belonging to divers.
8:50 pm
they were located in front of the rocky shores of bio filter bank. the white seas under the influence of the time it's 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. there are daily tides in the white say there triggered by the moon's orbit around the. amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two mazes both in summer and in winter well the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this level of that would not support listenings that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the building of ice frozen to the rock.
8:51 pm
and by a filter by 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 divers stand above the ice hole and control those who are underwater then they swap places. after the first two tips divers understand clearly that their lives depend on those above the ice. when everything is working fine it's. the diving is funny the moment something goes wrong you have what they called narrowing of vision where 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 more and more panic very difficult to get out of that side . besides the obvious spot of getting you back to the hole 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
8:52 pm
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 on the rocks in ice cleans the water and also gives it unique colors. divers called this place the ice kingdom. bus so you can fly zone other planets and nobody can certainly not now see the americans a visit to the moons of probes of landed on mars and venus listens but actually another planet is right here on earth soup with a parallel world with
8:53 pm
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 sea of bush's vision sure but look. there are hundreds of maritime biological research stations in the world today one of the most remote ones is in the come the laps of gulf of the white say . an old wind powered generator is the symbol of the bottle chicle research station belonging to moscow state university. and 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
8:54 pm
ducks and 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 help the on the females to race they baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flesh things together with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is the convenient thing to do. on. the water in the white sea remains cold even in summer time but the odds of ducks are never affected by the cold water they bob in the waves the whole day. undercoat is the best biological heat insulator it doesn't let the one thought in the old days where there were new
8:55 pm
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 don't 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 palookas 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
8:56 pm
whales in their natural habitat. our task is to provide a good dive that so that the whale school so we in the deep waters for a while can communicate with people and then come back to the surface we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correctly the is the syllable in the pride and that. the whales are was careful divers cannot move as fast graciously as they can 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 hope effect
