perience we only need them ice cream that's going to be have a. pretty. chilly breath of the arctic ocean peeps the water freezing cold. near the coast however the high winds and bitter cold recede. that even in winter water can be seen through holes in the ice. squeals and cracking
5:31 am
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. the vilest 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 cure they are behaving strangely today. sure why you had a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song or there was something wrong with your first. i didn't gargle before you
5:32 am
start singing business. of water your best. is sure well. 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 . my three want to bring us to ring. 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
5:33 am
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 that. you need to tell him that these intelligent creatures are worthy of perspex a sniff not affection like what mikey. this dolphinarium emulates the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible he sees no reason you. in the come to look 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 to believe the whales. the

nearest settlement is the village of no local 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 visit just to from 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 ice time and cool head about the. same company that organizes this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip. i thought from got to do it would be to russia. this is
5:35 am
a good place to visit specie for the type of photography do that 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 you know i hear war i've been diving for the past eight nine years mostly in topical war. most seeing southeast asia. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's a 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. which is hard work so the divers take a short intervals. was. this device was invented by an ancient people it's a type believe it was taken it
5:36 am
a step further and designed intelligent devices no 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 a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hotspots bannister's 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 diving instructors before venturing on to the ice because divers
5:37 am
must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insolated by a small film of the air on to the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have priced it which is all that once it has feels he it feels it the next in theory it's not supposed to allow a person if you have an inflated post here and here say to keep it comfortable and you don't get squashed in the water with the pressure you put air into the suit keep 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 ferret 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
5:38 am
a team member above take their over your head your rope your over the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor 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. by studying 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
5:39 am
kelp scattered about. cold water is the best environment for this seaweed. fish move slowly through the cold war to the sea bass they 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 comet. c.n.n. money's feed on plankton and other organic particles the given a green field to the water of the white sea.
5:40 am
fifth. danger 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 heaven. 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 fans. only going to fail
5:41 am
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 memories of almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes three metre parachute is good for strong winds the six to seven metre parachute is the right size for milder winds this one is nine and a half meters there case for any weather conditions or so all of them will pull you forward if you want to do push.
5:42 am
by might be a good book but you're catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should yeah it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed you go i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration you know because i am fully aware of the infinite power. hour of nature's forces well they could be over as my yacht sledge him kite in no time i make mincemeat out of me study. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly a bit after a long struggle a leg is finally able to catch the wind. lower.
5:43 am
government no longer represents the brave. the people are going to take the term. we. may not be a revolution in the traditional sense but in the long. the way our economic system currently is not going to. ultimately look. like. cause. i. didn't. say. i.

slept. more news today violence is one. games flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. corporations are all day.
5:45 am
palooka trainer alexander biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of new monkey bugs and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center. but well so are you ready. palooka whales 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 tree own up to the white sea dolphinarium when they were about one year old i alexandra natalia became their foster parents they
5:46 am
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. 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. there for a very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them into thinking 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 back to you say
5:47 am
only a temporary fear people simply communicate with a living creature as you insist the old. palookas get to tie. to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the adult with you know 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 a point to turn it over and offer their sides but make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots but. 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
5:48 am
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 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 find hundred years ago called coast to as. 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
5:49 am
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. the 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 see trips. and 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 if they're on a particular way. as men usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative
5:50 am
at the local women sit facing each other like this. why do they deserve. so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time. in winter time far from. their own was several shots out of sea belonging to divers. they were located in front of the rocky shores 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. there are daily tides in the white sea. 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 hours to rise to this level at that with amounts of
5:51 am
goodness names that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the buildings eyes frozen to the rock. and bio filter bank. strong 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
5:52 am
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 hole 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 afford to. ice piles up of the white sea coast due to the eben 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 his place the ice kingdom.
5:53 am
bus so you can fly zone other planets and nobody can certainly not now see the americans a visit to the moon and probes of landed on mars and venus listlessly but actually another planet is right here on earth with a parallel world with a parallel dimension everything is different here and i think people know much more about outer 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 to luxor gulf of the white sea. and old wind powered generator is the symbol of the biological research station belonging to moscow state university. and only a handful of staff stays at the station in winter young students from moscow state
5:54 am
universities 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 c i did 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 their own nest legs out the on the females to race their 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
5:55 am
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 he doesn't let the 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 indeed an excellent insulator. like sea birds 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 fact keeps the heat in well however it makes them look somewhat cumbersome. instinct compels palookas to save energy. very easy movements never exhibit aggression.
5:56 am
after a brief course of ice diving almost all the divers go swimming with belugas and in no plane closure the company for many it is a dream come true because nowhere else in the world can you communicate with beluga whales in their natural habitat. and. our task is to provide a good dive that's so that the whale school so we know that deep waters for a while communicate with people and then come back to the surface said we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correctly am the is the syllable in the pride and. the whales oh it's careful divers cannot move as fast graciously as they can so they adjust themselves to the divers movements. people
5:57 am
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 they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers of all 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.
