. my three want to bring is tiring. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives i believe good carbs are of a dark blue color. when they are 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 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 emulates the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible.
5:32 pm
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 to believe the whales. the nearest settlement is the village of no local but location 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
5:33 pm
a special event called i heard about. this same company that organizes this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip. i thought got to do that movie to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit species for the top of 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 you know i your i've been diving for the past eight nine years mostly in topical war. southeast asia. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's warm water compared to here. in order to get to the depths of the want to see winter divers first to break through the frozen since. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the

diving spot so. it is hard work so the divers take turns into. really rough for 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 little chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of fully man. i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold.
5:35 pm
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 under the ice because the divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insolated by a small film of air into the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have the guy sit which is holding it has feels he is using the next theory it's not supposed to allow him to if you have an inflatable hose here and it up so he it 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 rid of that thing ventured out through here. a lot
5:36 pm
of preparation is needed before diving under the ice. it takes time to put on a dry suit as well as making thorough tracks 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. their over your head you're ok you're ok the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor if you like the task is to learn to navigate on to the ice. to exchange signals with your partner correctly and to control the equipment. cool. i start having 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
5:37 pm
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 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 few to the water of the white c n. n. 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 heaven.
5:39 pm
were there. for quite a few people the underwater world is not the only attraction of the white sea its 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 but you know it's about most 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 their case for any weather conditions or all of them will kill you forward if you want it to.
5:40 pm
by much be a good one you catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should it is like riding a giant horse galloping up breakneck speed you go i'm 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 pulverized my yacht sledge and kite in no time i make mincemeat out of me study. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle no leg is finally able to catch the wind.

beluga trainer alexander and 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. so are you ready. palooka wails of plays an
5:44 pm
important role in their lives this is where they first met and then got married. let's go. to the belugas numa a tree owner who brought to the white sea dolphinarium when they were about one year old. 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 . train in belugas means playing with them any hostility against them is totally
5:45 pm
ruled out. whales and dolphins have an acute sense of how humans are disposed towards them they respond to friendly treatment. but it was 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 showing off the animals ability to leap or carry balsam back to me it's been pretty clear people simply communicate with a living creature. palookas get attached to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of thinking with you when you click here sometimes their skin h's you and i have certainly experienced that thought you but they have no hands to scratch the spot. so they like being scratched but you'll
5:46 pm
forget to turn it over and offer their sides but make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots one we also masters their stout bodies. they open their mouths but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking telling you. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off we protect our charges and for you. this is an offshore enclosure for belugas even a natural environment in wintertime these palooka whales always fly to go where winds and currents create cracks and holes in the ice. that they can resurface to breathe. large patches of open water close to the village of new immigrants never freeze over. according to geological evidence the white sea appeared some twenty thousand years

shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. position i've also looked at the women went fishing in the se on rowing boats as 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 spinning at their own in a particular way saddle oarsmen usually sit with their backs facing forward and they're going to the local women sit facing each other like this i think i do i do that is. for girls or there's certainly a lot so in the course of course the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and the luggage is off. in winter time far from. there always several shots out of sea belonging to divers. they were located in front of the rockies. short of bio filter bank. the white seas
5:49 pm
under the influence of the tide is 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 white say they're triggered by the moon's orbit around the earth the amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two mages both in summer and in winter well the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this level at that would you want that would listen names that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the building of ice frozen to the rock. and 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. but. some
5:50 pm
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 these funny the moment something goes wrong you have what they called narrowing of vision and you use the ability to to think awkward it increases your breathing and this and creates a panic so it's like a circle you just create more and more panic very difficult to get out of it so. decides the obvious part of getting you back to the hold this is like an umbilical cord that keeps you caught. in the depths of the ice world the sense of danger is very relative. near the rocks piles of ice formed. ice piles up of the white sea coast due to the eben flow. huge chunks of ice
5:51 pm
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 an ice cleans the water and also gives it unique colors. divers called his place the ice kingdom. 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 let's listen 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 how to space than they do about what's under the sea the bush's vision sure

but the. 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. and only a handful of staff stays at the station in winter young students from moscow state university's biological faculty often pattering their theses presentations. biologist yellin across nova has served at the station for twenty five years she often comes here with family in winter. she studies c i did ducks i'm sure and i stay here. by just been 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 help piano females to race baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow they flash things together. and 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. very easy movements never exhibit aggression. 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 beluga whales in their natural habitat. and nash as. our task is to provide a good dive so that the whale school so we know that deep waters for

a while communicate with people and then come back to the surface we treat them to fish if they fulfil the task correctly the is the syllable in the pride and. the whales although it's 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. the huge forehead serves as an acoustic tool thanks to that palookas have perfect echo location. in communicating with human beings
5:56 pm
they can comprehend body. feeling the whales understand them perfectly feeling the wound so back with their unusual speech. for that reason sailors nicknamed them sea canaries. children of. the. computing.
