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 then the time. i. become 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. could not take you on they are behaving strangely today. show you why you had a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song it was something wrong with your fur coats you wouldn't ask i didn't gargle

before you start singing beast me. a water your best big dog is sure was more. than was a little let's give our throats 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 tearing. 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. yes this is exactly how they should be kept by the people and 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 emulates the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible you see snow is reason. in the come the luck should day of the white see specialists from the petersburg branch of the tryst tolson area in cooperation with the optics circle dive center of set up an open enclosure to beleaguer whales. the nearest settlement is the village of no local 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 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 dive with thought for got to do it be to russia. this is a good place to visit species for the top of photography to then if you just speak

to people in south africa about the watch either i don't know where it is at all it's a whole new experience for me or no idea what i have been diving for the past eight nine years most seem topical or. most in 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. it is hard work so the divers take a short intervals. was the word this device was invented by ancient people it's a type of leader that was taken it a step further and designed intelligent devices no deals to little chunks of ice

nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of fault really man. i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hotspots bonuses are situated near every water hole 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 under the ice because divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insulated by
9:36 am
a small film of the air on to the suit ok so you have to meet up first and then you have the guy sit which is all that once it has feels he is feels at the neck in theory it's not supposed to allow a person if you have an inflatable you know 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 keeps the nice and comfy and then if you're coming up close you have to get. a sentient 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 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 ok the first dive
9:37 am
is always made by an experienced instructor you like to talk 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 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
9:38 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 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 comment. c.n.n. money's feed on plankton and other organic particles the given a green hue to the water of the white sea.

just. 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 heaven. 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 for kite sledging fans. only going to fail
9:40 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 interest but almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes three metre parachutist good for strong winds up three to 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. by much be a good book but you catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should yeah it
9:41 am
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. over as my yacht sledge him kite in no time to make mincemeat out of me study. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle the leg is finally able to catch the way. wealthy british.

palooka trainer alexander and biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of no monkey bugs 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
9:45 am
they tended fans and trained them. keeping in touch with palookas is not only that job but it is also a hobby and a way of relaxation to. make. her. feel 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. and of course 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 balsam they tell you they will meet them through the fear people simply communicate with
9:46 am
a living creature as you insist the world. 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 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 right there right you're going to turn it over and offer their sides will 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. know many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off we protect our charges and quite if. this is an
9:47 am
offshore enclosure of the 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. there 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 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
9:48 am
founded hundreds of years ago by coastal is. the oldest one is jordan i already which means black river. 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 flung 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 city on rowing but 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 saddle as men usually sit with their backs facing forward but
9:49 am
local women sit facing each other like this. why do they deserve what i've heard also because there's only so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and those in a moment which is off. peak in winter time far from. their own was several shots out at 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. there are daily tides in the whites only about what they're triggered by the moon's orbit around the earth or of the amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two majors both in summer and in winter while the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this
9:50 am
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 rock. and by and filter back a diver's learn how to work in pairs on their own so that they will be able to dive under the ice without an instructor. thank. some diver 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 these funny the moment something goes wrong you have what they called narrowing of vision and you use the ability to to think like which increases your breathing and this
9:51 am
and creates a panic so it's like a circle you just create normal panic very difficult to get out of that side. besides 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 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. huge chunks of ice create corridors and labyrinths stretching over many meters and . 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.
9:52 am
bus so you can fly zone other planets. nobody can certainly not now ask the americans a visitor 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 but. 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 see. an old wind power 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
9:53 am
university's biological faculty after pairing their theses presentations. biologist yelling across nova 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 been 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 with their own nest legs help the out of females to race they baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow they latch things together shared with him to find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings raising them together is a convenient thing to do. on. the water in the white sea remains cold even in
9:54 am
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 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 hypodermic fat keeps the heat in well however it makes them look somewhat cumbersome. instinct compels blucas to save energy. very easy movements never exhibit aggression.
9:55 am
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 whales in their natural habitat. our task is to provide a good dive that's so that the whale school so we were in the deep waters for a while to 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 are always careful divers cannot move as fast and graciously as they can so they adjust themselves to the divers movements. people
9:56 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 hope effect echolocation. in communicating with human beings they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers always 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.
