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 the white sea is the natural habitat.
11:31 pm
i. 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 a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song or it was something wrong with your throat said he wouldn't boss guy do you gargle before you start singing vs need. a water your best day longer is sure was more. than was a little let's give our throats some fish oil. thank you now let's try to get off the.

sailors have dubbed baluga whales canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make . my three want to bring us to ring was a. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives i believe good carbs are of a dark blue color. when they're one year old they turn gray like these two female whales. i 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 the. need to tell him that these intelligent

creatures are worthy of perspex a sniff not affection i think. this dolphinarium amulets the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible you see it's nice reasoning. in the come the luck should behave the whites see specialists from the speeches but branch of the tryst told finance in cooperation with the optics circle dive center set up an open enclosure for baluga whales. the nearest settlement was the village of mill mccool 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 good roads in the cold sea found that. such things do not pull the divers visitors to from different countries around they dream of getting
11:34 pm
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 called i heard about. this same company that organizes this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip dive with thought for got to do that movie to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit specie for the top of photography did and if he does 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 and. i've been diving for the past eight nine years mostly in topical water. mostly in southeast asia. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's a warm water computor here. in order to get to the depths of the want to see
11:35 pm
winter divers first have to break through the frozen so. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving school. which is hard work so the divers take turns into. really rough with this device was invented by an ancient people it's a type of leadership that was taken it a step further and designed intelligent device to snow bills to lift chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does a job of fully manned. i styling in the white sea is
11:36 pm
a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hotspots bannister's are situated near every water hole pier 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 because divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insulated by a small film of the air on to the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have to go see it which is all they want it has feels he is feels at the neck so in theory it's not supposed to allow he works if you have an inflatable you know post here and it up so he is safe to keep it comfortable and you don't get squashed
11:37 pm
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 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 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 take there over your head you're ok you're ok the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor if you like to task is to learn to navigate on to the ice. to exchange signals with your partner correctly and to control the equipment. cool. i styling is fraught with danger the visibility beneath is only twenty to twenty
11:38 pm
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 they use 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 comet. c.n.n. money's feed on plankton and other organic particles the given to take greenfield to the water of the white sea. just. heard thank you for sure we had a mortar. it was through ari do you want to

come or. we only need ice cream that's going to be haven't been there. for you. 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 fans. 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 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
11:41 pm
and a half meters there case for any weather conditions or so all of them will pull you forward if you want me to. buy much of you get you book but you catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed you go i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration because i am fully aware of the infinite power. or of nature's forces just do it or they could be pulverized my yacht sledge and kite in no time like i make mincemeat out of me i mean of the study. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle

palooka trainer alexander and biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of no monkey and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center. but well so are you ready. palooka whales have played 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 i 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. i. think.
11:45 pm
it was. i. think i. 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. but of course very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them and to sing in your show what's most important is that this is not a circus or showing off the animals ability to leap or carry balsam they to use they only have been pretty clear people simply communicate with the living creatures you will see just the old. palookas get of time. to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for
11:46 pm
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 afford to turn it over and offer their sides but make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots but. we also matters there stout bodies. they open their mouth but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking tongues you. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off will protect our charges. if. this is an offshore enclosure for belugas even a natural environment in wintertime these palooka whales always flock to go where winds and currents create cracks and holes in the ice. then they can resurface to
11:47 pm
breathe. large patches of open water close to the village of new mcgrew never freeze over thanks. 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 the called coast well 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. sailed north long the white sea coast and reached the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. look 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 going to me you can still see women on such boats thorough 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. why do they deserve. so certainly so the course of course the trip to a fishing area takes a long time at the moment which is off. peak in winter time far

from. their own 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 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. you know why there are daily tides in the whites. there triggered by the moon's orbit around the earth of the amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two majors both in summer and in winter when the ice i'm standing on will take six.
11:50 pm
some divers stand above the ice hole and control those who are under water 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 would you use the ability to to think colquitt 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 that so i. decides 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
11:51 pm
world the sense of danger is very relative. near the rocks piles of ice and 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. 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. last until you can fly. they can certainly not now ask the americans
11:52 pm
a visit to the moon's probes of landed on mars and venus but actually another planet is right here on earth it's a parallel world with a parallel dimension everything is different here and i think people know much more about how the space than they do about what's under the sea the bush's vision sure 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 biological research station belonging to moscow state university. only a handful of staff stays at the station in winter young students from moscow state universities biological faculty often pairing their theses presentations. biologist yelling across nova to search at the station for twenty five years she

often comes here with family in winter. she studies see ida ducks ensuring they 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 nests on the shore they always stick together on land as they do on the sea. young female dogs who are there their own nest legs help the on the females to race the baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flash things together sit with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is the 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. there is ox undercoat is the best biological heat insulator
11:54 pm
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 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 high could dermott fact keeps the heat and well however it makes them look somewhat cumbersome. instinct compels belugas 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
11:55 pm
open closure. for many it is a dream come true because nowhere else in the world can you communicate with blue whales in the natural habitat. of nash as. our task is to provide a good dive 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 fulfil the task correct them the is the syllable in the pride and. the whales oh its careful divers cannot move as fast and 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.
11:56 pm
the huge forehead serves as an acoustic tool thanks to that palookas have perfect echo location. in communicating with human beings they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers always trump feeling that the whales understand them perfectly and even on so back with their unusual speech. for that reason sailors nicknamed them sea canaries. ultimate.
