old freeboard video for your media project a free media are. back here with the r t a look at the top stories of ravenous appetite for security the world's biggest five days draws a marathon of protest over fear as to contribute to a new arms race seen since the cold war. in iraq gets its way into the big club after test firing its first intercontinental ballistic missile off in the ante in a region seething with mutual distrust and facility. and ceasefire crossfire u.n. monitors in syria reportedly come under a barrage of bullets with both the opposition and the regime trading of blame while influential rebel backers prepare to lower the outs of new sanctions on also ten.

to international trade agreements which sparked mass protests saw first a setback and the european parliament as a key piece sounds the alarm over its threat to civil liberties. now the colder ice caves in the russian girls are a spectacular but potentially hazardous attraction for extreme tourist exploring the perils of our special report up next. a small and ancient russian merchant city sits at the confluence of three rivers. is not quite europe but is not in asia either. constantine's a native of congo or he heads off to work each day of the same time. constant in has been conducting independent research for ten years now his profession is out of the ordinary for most people but it's quite natural for those

living in the euros it mixes danger with excitement. the city's protected reserve early morning enjoys a few precious moments before being plunged into darkness if i live i constantine how are things at the site everything is alright no problem i'll give you the keys a group of scientists is arriving today we should check everything carefully ok then. ok. another day begins in this beautiful urals countryside. every day people working at the site after walked ten kilometers back and forth are all passers by it's obligatory to strike the singing star the more beautiful the seldom makes the more likely a wish is to come true. on the one hand everything seems to have stopped dead here on the other hand a specialist can always see how the cave has changed over time the place is

a living organism and an underground parikh dies for geologists and researches lying beneath the banks of the silver river and at the depths of the ice melt and hides the pearl of congo or. the ice caves captured the interest of many scientists and it's no wonder the cave is. that one of the most beautiful ice cabins in the world hello hello how are you live the scientists we've been waiting for have arrived this is a complex expedition those who into the cave to undertake detailed research if we let them all go but make sure they all register in the logbook ok then i'm off to meet them and give instructions. the purpose of registration is to ensure that everyone makes it out of the cave safely today this group of scientists has some

unusual work ahead of them perhaps they'll find a new grocer or come across a unique crystal. according to the scientist estimates the cave is tame to twelve thousand years old. it's the only cave in russia which is equipped with special poles for tourists. when passing by the things the research is which for a geographical discovery. you must be very careful when climbing there so that you don't fall down it's slippery there's a lot of ice down there how big is the grotto pretty large it will be exciting for you. if we do no come back in an hour send someone to find us. the research is a getting ready to cruel to reach the reserved area of the cave that's off limits to ordinary tourists the entrance to the protected zone is basically a narrow hole so be very careful and cautious all who go first watch each other

closely. fifty grottos have been found inside congo rice cave it's also famous for its seventy underground lakes. as a biologist. today he together with his assistant. checking out the caves flora and fauna their task is to set up some traps and they hope to catch a unique inhabitant of the water. temperature inside the cave varies from freezing to above zero. the further away from the entrance the warmer it gets from minus fifteen degrees celsius that's around five degrees fahrenheit to four degrees celsius or around thirty nine degrees fahrenheit now look at found yes yes. this is a winter. kito. he's a frequent cave and how to. look. i won't be

surprised if it flies off. for the first time the scientists have a chance to explore the depths of the lakes. this one is called the lake of deception because the water appears to be moving here. what happens is that the rain melt water percolate through the ice mountains and dripping into the lakes in different places it gives the illusion of movement. this phenomenon of interference . now we have to put the bait. holds the trap and was used. over here they love this kind of sausage they would never eat stale sausage we should be very careful when putting it out so that we do not lose the trap that's it. it's one hundred twenty one metres long but because water dissolves there's gypsum arches grottos

appearance constantly changes regular measurements are needed here. we definitely need to measure the preacher routing parts of the plate the results will enable us to predict future growth development so that we can then lay out the safest route for visitors. today geologists are measuring one of the most beautiful grocers the difference in temperature makes a peculiar at the bottom it's freezing on top it's above zero celsius because of this there are no static types in the grosser only starlit mites reaching from the floor. husband and wife. first met while working at a mine together he says in a landslide to another hazardous activities he is a mineral survey i'm. as a geologist nicholai researches different rocks and looks into their formation of structure but his job also involves making laser measurements of caves that are

noted down the results to measure the entire grotto they have to record two thousand different points with the help of special equipment have you got it yes good. to just let me know what you said we are now on top of the rock slide which formed when the roof collapsed over. these rocks will eventually be washed away by underground water in the cave will cease to exist so this cave is very precious to us today so we will be. oh hello no lights where. i'll be there soon to change the bulbs. ok rangers are in charge of safety inside the cave every day long before the tourists arrive they have to check to see if they're going to collapse on the tourist trail to be sure that everything is fine with the lighting and to note the general condition of the roof so now everything's fixed the cave is rigorously checked on

a daily basis after all one hundred thousand tourists on average visit a cave every year that's twice the population of congo. loose rock has been scraped off with the help of the speak and i can observe the process of how the slabs moved down which it would be connotes a crack when such movement occurs now i have to strengthen the gypsum block here. a screw threaded banker fastens the loose rock to a solid one behind. is believed to be the safest method for the congress k o. because it ensures that the five tons of rock stays on the roof and doesn't fall into the tourist trap stop the cave has been open to tourists for more than one hundred years and it's not seen a single accident in all that time. when i came here as a student and saw all this space and the way ice is formed i was struck by this

beauty this energy power. ten years have passed and the cave has become a part of my life as. oh how difficult it is to get through here we're almost there. and meanwhile geophysicist your easter bunny costs to make them over to have reached the polar grosso they boast not only the most bizarre ice crystals but also life that's lasted for centuries it melts neither in winter nor in summer here one can appreciate the full beauty of ice crystallization scientists first began using geo radar to take measurements of the ice inside the cave and it turned out to be very effective. we have to crawl here. and then slide down to measure all the year regularities of the ice formations. yuri and nikolai

thought that if such a technique was being used to study ice and talk to cure then why couldn't it be applied in a cave before that an ordinary fishing ice ax was used to measure the ice it takes a little time to measure a fairly large area with the help of this device scientists learned that in some places the ice is six meters thick. the state of the ice inside it depends on the range of temperatures created by natural ventilation when it's colder on the surface lower temperatures accumulate inside the cave forms and freezes over vacay the process is controlled by the external environment in other words they came back as a kind of natural condition. well that's great if we do these measurements every year in union we can understand how freezing and melting happens we would be ok and can even make conclusions about climate change. the sparely are divers have never

swum in the protected area of the cave before for the first time a team of underwater researches from the russian geographical society will dive into a barely explored part of congo's treasure trove. still your divers are exploring the so-called arctic ocean a lake in a protected area of the cave. they found out that this underground lake is congo is biggest it's sixty meters long making it twice as big as the last one which we found on the tourist trail to work with the shit out of a person who is undergone an underwater spill yogic course can work literally anywhere. this includes as rescuers also can ships. which is the best training. this group has already studied more than a dozen underground lakes and not just in russia they research caves all around the world came diving is one of the most dangerous of occupations divers are often

unaware of what awaits them in the water but that thrill of discovery is also a stronger force. that there's there's a passage passage over there it's about fifteen meters long the hundred fifty centimeters tall it's very narrow stones are falling down thank god we found everything we wanted well don't you guys. just make a lot of the cave diver has just made his ten still graphical discovery it took him three years to prepare for a dive into this lake they had to develop the necessary skills in the undiscovered cave. because even the slightest mistake could cost them their lives.

just like you know old times trade booms during the traditional russian holiday of schroders ties which bids farewell to windsor and take some souvenirs sent out fast . this is because the city of congo is full of talented doses remise ists and stone covers since the seventeenth century when congo was found it has been

a major trading class. back in the sixteenth century the conqueror of siberia much must have been his own they ended up losing their way so the caustic chieftain decided to set up head before heading to siberia he established a settlement at the ice mountain houses were built for his men so they could survive the winter and during that time they discovered a cane under the nose of the troops used as a natural refrigerator. the newly found cave attracted many tempting them with its mysterious dates peter the great unself ordered a map of the cave to be drawn that shows it was fulfilled in the eighteenth century it was the wills first map of undergrowth grocers in the late nineteenth century congo natives either examined the clinical was the first person to conduct guided

to his museum and despite its beauty the cave hid many dangers but then didn't skin the german princess victoria or battenburg antidotal louise some time later louise married a prince and became the queen of sweden is said that this is what she wished full on the singing stone. a map of the cave is constantly being updated nine hundred sixty four saw the first cave planned with photographs but science has made great leaps forward since then nikolai punch a cough is developing a three d. model of the underground labyrinth survey done from the tower grosso into a special program the three d. model makes it possible to clarify the relative positions of the caves and to establish their maximum size analysis of the measurements else determine whether a collapse is likely to happen and that's important not only for the cave but also

for the city. we should study of the course of occasion occurring in congo or face cave it has created such an amazing natural phenomenon that it has become a tourist attraction the course of occasion happening in congo or means a lot of money is needed to relocate people to safe places and to build houses on stable earth. according to scientific research two thirds of the city's depressions. cation the cracks on this building have been growing for several years now the apartment block is supported by a special construction of. they prevent scenes from collapsing new cracks are a sign of cost of occasions taking place underneath it come in please. there's a large crack here where water lee in it causes rocks and destruction but with a wall in the kitchen as wobbling. mice and hamsters attack us from under the floor

they nod the floor and run all over here inside the rooms the walls have been ruined by the damp wallpaper simply peels off and there's also a big hole behind this crib. the reason the water pipes here. when temperatures drop it's simply freezes through and through here we have static minds speak. and there is another crack on the side as well that usually we first patched an up and then put up and he can. speak and has already cracked. when this apartment block was constructed a cast lake was filling up below the land under the building began to subside as if it was sinking into a bottomless chasm tenants were evacuated and scientists were brought in to study the situation. this house is located in the city center. was that cracks appeared because

a cavity formed under the house here to resolve the issue scientists were signed to deal with that they researched it for two years and their results became the basis for the new general plan of the city now every building is constructed based on the scientists recommendations. surprisingly all seven of the cathedrals in the city stand firm despite the fact that they were built long before people knew about. in fact the city's merchant history has been largely preserved thanks to cost of occasion is prohibited from building high rise buildings in the old city in case cast caverns cause another collapse. is that very cabin which is so convenient for the scientists to study. to get from one grotto to another one has to cool sometimes upside down meter by

meter grosso of the grocer and experience just leaves the group. you have to crawl sideways thrusting your legs against the wall there will be a lake under your feet premier's please be very careful so that you do not fall down or drop any equipment. of scale feels at home in a protected area even when the lights are off she sees every little change immediately the protected area was found by accident in one thousand nine hundred thirty five there was an expedition during which a worker found a hole which reveals tunnels and grottoes stretching for three and a half kilometers along with many lakes these are so-called organ pipes vertical channels that connect caverns with the surface their height can be up to twenty two meters as tall as a seven story building the research team grocers and this is a huge pieces of loose gypsum hanging from the ceiling weighing at least five tons

the first explorers were so amazed by the beauty of the new cave that they chose to preserve it just as it was. the gypsum crystals are rare in our cave this is one of the places where there are large enough of the most well known cave this type is in mexico oh where they grow fourteen meters high. in our cave they are five centimeters but they're very beautiful. meanwhile punk off continues his research first centuries people have been interested not only in the caves but also in the things that live there. in the old days people believe that there was a mammoth like animal living in the cave feeding on the earth and that the underground camel teams appear because of it but in reality the cave is home only to very small and homeless inhabitants because the huge sea of perth used to be

here. this is just hard a match stick and size it feeds on. the falls into the lake during floods it has now and is never found on the surface it was named after the caves first. a lucky find for nicholas and olga. how great are you happy can. they often traps because water gets spoiled there. we have to register. that this is a very interesting species this is the only organism in the perm region which is adjusted to living in a cage. there is a theory called into the depths of the cave at the beginning of the ice age the cold contributed to it's quicker penetration under the earth.

and the best of the czech republic. has come specifically to take pictures of one of the largest caves of the urals. in the passageway an inscription made in one thousand nine hundred fourteen by princess victoria a battenberg and her daughter louise can be found. crystal. and. when temperatures drop. deeper. crystals cover the. french. they transform into needles and there are just in march this is how i stray. from human. being to many places over the past twenty years i have been very dangerous caves.

but i would like to say absolutely by what i see here now both as a photographer and. truest it's fantastic. i am the queen of the coal i will lead you through three kingdoms of the kingdom of the cold my favorites the kingdom of stone and the kingdom of water. some of us so totally amazed by the striking beauty in the mystery of congo the ice caves that even ready to forego the cold and darkness to prove their love one couple would hold hearts has even held their wedding in the cave. for those who love us is our stone our stone of love do you remember them as you wish when we came in speak a few years ago yes i do can you guess wants to marry me like

a cool harvest just writes a. lot of the medicare guests please come in here to register your marriage in the colder five k. . of the cold cross it was soon a match because the holes in the ceiling resemble a reef and above the guest was built here in nineteen eighty-four. i mean chosen one of the most beautiful grocers arena and alexander decided to get married. was. the magic of the giant underground lakes and grocers and the frozen poetry of the ice bring people into a fantastic world of ancient caves. the practice of guided tours here is almost one hundred years old valentine read

continues the tradition of the first going to clinic of he loves the cave as if it were his own home. here in search of his beloved summer an eight but he fails to find or turn to stone because of the unrequited love. love that everyone searching for love knocks on the dolphin and adult and sings and their wishes come true. in the past people used kerosene torches or candles and sparklers to light up the cave but by the end of the twentieth century electricity was installed today a total of perception in the cave is only for special occasions and now it's in tribute to alexander clinic of thanks to him tourists can venture underground every day. clinic of guided tourists into the cave until his very death even to the point where he was almost blind he can make in the past the present and the future it was

a constant process an eternal link between the mysterious underground world and the buzz of life outside.
