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 them 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 nice reasoning. in the come the luck should behave the whites see specialists from the same petersburg branch of the tryst told finance in cooperation with the optics circle dive center set up an open enclosure for beluga whales. the nearest settlement is the village of mill mcu but location on the coast of the white sea. it was a stop just by local fisherman known as coast well as in the twentieth century.
7:33 pm
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 pollute the whales and swimming with them in the natural habitats. before they're allowed to do so even experienced divers have to tender special ice time and cool head about. being with this same company as this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip. i thought for got to do it be to russia. anyway so far north pacific place to visit species for the top of 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 you know i your i've been diving for the past eight nine
7:34 pm
years mostly in topical water. mostly in southeast asia and. 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 time 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 a step further and designed intelligent device to snow deals to lift chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of fully manned.
7:35 pm
i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hots for the furnace ears 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 the ensuring under the ice. 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 air into the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have
7:36 pm
the guy sit which is all that once it has seals if you look at the neck in theory it's not supposed to allow him to tell me 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 on the sea you have to get rid of things 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 their over your head your rope if you're ok the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor like to task is to learn to navigate
7:37 pm
under 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 kelp scattered about. cold water is the best environment for this seaweed.
7:38 pm
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 carpet. c.n.n. money's feed on plankton and other organic particles the given to take greenpeace to the water of the white sea.
7:39 pm
just. her being here for sure we had a mortar. it was through ari do you want to come where. we only need ice cream that's going to be have a thing for you at that. thing 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 to kite sledging found. only one of pharaoh 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
7:40 pm
a special sledge and a parachute good interest but almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachutes a three metre parachute is good for strong winds three and a six to seven metre parachute is the right size for milder winds this one is nine and a half meters there counts for any weather conditions or so all of them will kill you florida if you want to do. why might you be a good one 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 i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration you know because i am fully aware of the infinite power
7:41 pm
of nature's forces used to just do it well they could pulverize my yacht sledge and kite in no time and make mincemeat out of me study. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle a leg is finally able to catch the wind. the least be cold language the. cold programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about seventy yard p.
7:42 pm
interviews intriguing stories for you to. see in trying. to find out more visit our big teeth dog called. plenty. more news today violence is once again flared up the phone and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada . the giant corporations are old a. coupe.
7:43 pm
palooka trainer alexander 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 of plays an important role in their lives this is where they first met and then got married.
7:44 pm
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. was. i. training belugas means playing with them any hostility against them is totally ruled out. whales and dolphins have an acute sense of how
7:45 pm
humans are disposed towards them they respond to friendly treatment. therefore a 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 say we've been pretty clear people simply communicate with a living creature as rooms this is the old. blue. get attached to humans very quickly and if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the adult with you don't 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 bite you afford to turn it over and offer their sides but make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots. we also matters there
7:46 pm
stout bodies. they open their mouth but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking tellings you could find many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off we protect our charges and quite 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 brief. large patches of open water close to the village of new 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 recalled coast to as.
7:47 pm
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 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 flung the white sea coast and reached the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. look at the
7:48 pm
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 saddle as men usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative at the local women sit facing each other like this. why do they do this. but they're also so funny so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and those in a moment. in winter time far from. their own were 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
7:49 pm
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 of the amplitude of high and low tides in the wide sea is about two mazes both in summer and in winter while 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 belt of ice frozen to the rock. and bio filter bank 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 divers stand above the ice hole and control those who are underwater then they swap
7:50 pm
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 diving is 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 creates a panic so it's like a circle you just create more and more panic very difficult to get out of that so. besides the obvious part of getting you back to the hole 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.
7:51 pm
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. last until you can fly to another. yes 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 the 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
7:52 pm
today one of the most remote ones is in the come to luxor 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 universities biological faculty often pairing their theses presentations. biologist yellin 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 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.
7:53 pm
young female dogs who are their own nestlings help the out of females to race their baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flesh 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. under code is the best biological heat and seal later it 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 it's indeed an excellent insulator. like seabirds beluga whales simply don't feel the cold the temperature of their
7:54 pm
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 polluters 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. our task is to provide a good dive that so that the whale school so we know in the deep waters for a while to communicate with people and then come back to the surface we treat them
7:55 pm
to fish if they fulfil the toss correctly am the is the syllable in the pride and. the whales oh 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 has perfect echo location. in communicating with human beings they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers always trump
7:56 pm
feeling that the whales understand them perfectly and even on so back with their unusual speech. for that reason sailors nicknamed them sea canaries. of the. people.
