in the flight see up close and below the ice on r.t.e. . the white sea its surface remains choked with ice has been 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. 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 cure they are behaving strangely today. show you why you had a canary why did you feel like giving us a song or it was something wrong with your firth's you wouldn't ask i didn't gargle before you start singing business. of water your best read on here is sure was more

. than was a little let's give their throat some fish oil. now let's try to get off the. sailors have dubbed beluga whales canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make . my three want to bring is tearing wasn't your. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives. palooka carbs are of a dark blue color. when they're one year old they turn gray like bees

to 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 like what mikey. this dolphinarium emulates the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible he's nice reasoning. in the come the luck should day of the white see specialists from the speeches but branch of the tryst tolson area in cooperation with the optic circle dive center set up an open enclosure for beluga whales. the nearest settlement is the village of mill mccool but ok still on the coast of the

white sea. it was a stop best buy 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 at political 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 the organizers this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip. i thought from got to do it moving to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit species for the toddler photography days and if he does speak to people in south

africa about the watch either i don't know where it is at all it's a whole experience for me i know i your i have been diving for the past eight nine years most seem topical or. most sane south east asia. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's a warm water calculator here. 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 a short intervals. during the ordeal this device was invented by an ancient people it's a type of leadership that was taken it a step further and designed intelligent devices no bills to live chunks of ice

nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of really man. 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 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 small film of the air on to the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have the guy sit which is ordered once it has seals here 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 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 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 there over your head you're ok you're ok 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. 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 kelp scattered about. cold water is the best environment for the 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 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 here to the water of the white sea.

fifth. 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 have a. little bit. 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 for kite sledging fans. only mullah 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 manner but almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachute 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 and a half meters their case for any weather conditions or all of them will pull you forward if you want to do push. by might be a good one you're catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should it is like

riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed to go i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration because i am fully aware of the infinite power. or of nature's forces used to just do it or they could pose as my yacht sledge and kite in no time and make mincemeat out of me. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle a leg is finally able to catch the wind.

you know use a secret laboratory to mccurry was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and world this is why you should care only on the. cuckold to the cooler heads technology innovation all the as developments from around russia we've got the future covered. more news today. again fled up the phone these are the images we're seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporation.

kooky. i. palooka trainer alexander biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of new muggles bugs and work in the nearby arctic circle dive center. but well so are you ready. palooka wails 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 knew him a tree owner would go to the wife see dolphinarium when they were about one year old i alexander and 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 to. make. her. feel i. train in 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 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 balls and they tell us they only have been pretty clear people simply communicate with a living creature as rooms this is the old.

blue. gets attached to humans very quickly and if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the adult 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 will make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots. 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. if. this is an offshore enclosure of the 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. 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 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. it 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 along the white sea coast and reach the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance sea trips. 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 thorough in a particular way saddles men usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative at the local women sit facing each other like this. why do they deserve.

better and also because there's only so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time at the moment just off. peak in winter time far from. their own with 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. there are daily tides in the whites. there triggered by the moon's orbit around the earth you have 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 rock. in bio 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. thanks some 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 and 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 are 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.

you can fly to another planet nobody can certainly not now the americans a visitor the moon's 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 the laps of gulf of the white see . an 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 after pairing their theses presentations.

biologist yelena cross nova has served at the station for twenty five years she often comes here with family in winter. he studies c i do ducks 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 nestlings help be on the females to race baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flash things together 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 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 and see later 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 palookas to save energy. they're easy movements never exhibit aggression.

after a brief course of ice diving. we treat them to fish if they feel the toss correct them is the syllable in the pride and. the whales are always careful divers cannot move as fast and graciously as they come 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. a 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 have the feeling that the whales understand them perfectly and even on so back with their unusual speech. for that reason sailors nicknamed them sea canaries.
