the sailors have dubbed beluga whales canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make. it's. just my theory on how to bring us to ring. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives. polluted 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. you 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 he sees no reason you're. in the come to luck should day of the white see specialists from the petersburg branch of the scenario in cooperation with the optics circle dive center set up an opening closure 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 pull the divers visitors to from
11:32 am
different countries around they dream of getting a close look appealing to whales and swimming with them in the natural habitats. before they're allowed 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 i thought for got to do it be to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit specie for the toddler photography days and if you just speak to people in south africa about the watch either i don't know where it is of all it's a whole experience for me i know i i've been diving for the past eight nine years most serene topic a war. southeast asia. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's warm water compared to

a year. in order to get to the depths of the want to see winter divers first have to break through the frozen so. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving school so. it is hard work so the divers take the short intervals. word for this device was invented by ancient people it's a type of lever that 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 fully manned.

i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hearts with bannister's are situated near every water hole here the divers change and comfort themselves after diving. according to international diving regulations one should be certified by the professional association of diving instructors before then shearing under the ice because the divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insulated by small film of the air going to the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have to go see it which is all that it has seals here feels that the next told us a theory it's not supposed to allow it to be you have an inflatable you know post here and it up though here say to keep it comfortable and you don't get squashed in
11:35 am
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 rid of that face then check 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 are always had under the ice tethered to a safety line which is controlled by a team member above take their over your head your rope if you're over the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor you like to task is to learn to navigate under the ice to exchange signals with your partner correctly and to control the equipment.
11:36 am
by 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. 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 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

come where. we only need ice cream that's going to be have a. little bit after that. thing where you. go. from point 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 found. only one affair of 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 interest but almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes three metre parachute is good for strong winds up three to six to seven metre parachute is the right size for milder winds this one is nine
11:39 am
and a half meters there counts for any weather conditions or so all of them will kill you forward if you want to do push. by much like you catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i sure it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration because i am fully aware of the infinite power of nature's forces well they could power as my yacht sledge and kite in no time i make mincemeat out of me study. the weather on the white sea often

a better little. jimmy speak your language just as. long as programs and documentaries in arabic in school here on all t.v. reporting from the world's hot spots fifty ip interviews intriguing story for you. in trying. to find out more visit our big teeth dog called. palooka trainer alexander and biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of no muggle and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center. but well so are you ready. palooka wails of plays an important role in their
11:43 am
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 and trained them. keeping in touch with palookas is not only that job but it is also a hobby and a way of relaxation. i. think. i. training belugas means playing with them any hostility
11:44 am
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. but of course very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them to being in you're sure what's most important is that this is not a circus or showing off the animals ability to leap or carry balsam they tell us they will meet them through the fear people simply communicate with the living creatures you will see just the old. palookas get a time. 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 sometimes their skin ages you and i have certainly experienced that thought you but they have no hands to scratch the spot so they like being scratched by to
11:45 am
a point to turn it over and offer their sites that make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots but. we also massage 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 quite if. this is an offshore enclosure for 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 mcgrew never freeze over thanks. 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 book called coast to as. fishing and hunting with their means of subsistence. many of them drowned during hurricanes and storms. local 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 welders. the oldest one is jordan i already which means black river. 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 church had to look like a ship. has sailed north flung the white sea coast and reached the shores of
11:47 am
spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. by 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 saddle as men usually sit with their backs facing forward but local women sit facing each other like this. or that is. also because there's only so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time at the moment which is off. peak in winter time far from. their old was several shots out of sea belonging to divers. they were located in front of the rocky shore of bio filter bank. the white seas
11:48 am
under the influence of the tide its water 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 sea. 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 majors both in summer and in winter well the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this level at that with your mouth up with little names that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the building of ice frozen to the rocks. in bio filter bank a 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
11:49 am
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 or you use the ability to to think like which increases your breathing and this and create a panic so it's like a circle you just create normal panic very difficult to get out of it so. besides the obvious part of getting you back to the whole 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.
11:50 am
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. last until you can fly to another planet. nobody can certainly not now ask the americans a visit at the moons 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 seat of bush's vision sure
11:51 am
but. there are hundreds of maritime biological research stations in the world today one of the most remote ones is in the candle 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 yellin across nova her search of the station for twenty five years she often comes here with family in winter. she studies see ida ducks i'm sure and i stay here. i just spend nearly all of their life time on water and in the end. it is only during the brief reproduction period that they make
11:52 am
nests on the shore they always stick together on land as they do on the sea. young female dogs with their own nests legs piano females to race they baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow if that things together sit with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is a convenient thing to do with. the water in the white sea remains cold even in summer time but the idea 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 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.
11:53 am
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. their thick layer of hypodermic fat keeps the heat in well however it makes them look somewhat cumbersome. instinct compels palookas to save energy. very easy movements never exhibit aggression. after a brief course of ice diving almost all the divers go swimming with belugas in an open closure. for many it is a dream come true because nowhere else in the world can you communicate with beluga whales in their natural habitat. our task is to provide a good dive so that the whale school so when they deep waters for
11:54 am
a while communicate with people and then come back to the surface fed we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correctly yes the syllable in the pride and. the whales although 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 have perfect echo location. in communicating with human beings
