this is how so-called canaries of the sea communicate. typically they hide under the ice. the white sea is then from the time. i. fall from the civilized world in the north of russia on the. 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 it was something wrong with your first system wouldn't boss guy didn't gargle before you start singing vs new. water your best. is sure was more.

than was a mortal let's gives our throat some fish oil. now let's try to get off the. sailors have dubbed beluga whales sea canaries because of the peculiar sounds they make. my three want to bring us tearing. 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

two female whales. i later their skin acquires a milky shade. yes this is exactly how they should be kept but i woke up 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 pay if the whites see specialists from the speeches but branch of the tryst tolson area in cooperation with the optics circle dive center set up an open enclosure for baluga whales. the nearest settlement is the village of mill mccool 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. 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 if from different countries around they dream of getting a close look appealing to whales and swimming with them in their natural habitats. before they're allowed to do so even experienced divers have to attend a special event call i had about. being with this same company that organizes this trip. and then when they said they were doing this trip dive with thought for got to do it moving to russia. this is a good place to visit species for the top of photography think that 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 experience for me and. i've been diving for the past eight nine years mostly in topical water. mostly in southeast asia and. mediterranean that we caught 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 so. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving spot so. 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 leadership that was taken it 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 the job of fully man. i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hot spot furnaces are situated near every water hole here 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 the divers must be wearing dry suits to make sure they don't freeze in the water the user is insolated
5:36 am
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 all the one it has feels he is feels at the neck so in theory it's not supposed to allow he would tell me you have an inflatable hose here and it up though 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 think 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 picture over your head your rope is your role the first dive is
5:37 am
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 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 this seaweed.

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 parachute three metre parachute is good for strong winds three to six to seven metre parachute is the right size for milder winds this one is nine and a half meters there are codes for any weather conditions or since all of them will pull you forward and you won't get to. by much be a good one you're catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all it is like riding

palooka whales of plays an important role in their lives this is where they first met and then got married. let's go below get. two of the belugas numa a tree owner 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
5:45 am
. train ing 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. therefore 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 series of showing off animals ability to leap or carry balsam back to you say we have been pretty clear people simply communicate with a living creature as you once this is the old. palookas gets attached to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of them from which you know when you look at your sometimes their skin h's you and i have certainly experienced that thought you but they have no hands to scratch the spot with so they like being scratched but
5:46 am
you afford to turn it over and offer their sides make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots one we also matters there are stout bodies. they open their mouths but we don't allow everybody to touch their nice looking tellings 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 palookas even a natural environment in winter time these palooka whales always flock to golf swell 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. according to geological evidence the white sea appeared some twenty thousand years

ago. the people who first settled in this northern land fine hundred years ago recalled coast to ellis. 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 read 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. the coast to

a sailed north long the white sea coast and reached the shores of spitzbergen island even the women made the long distance see trips. position i've also look at the women went fishing in the city 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 you know if they're on a particular way saddle oarsmen usually sit with their backs facing forward and negative at the local women sit facing each other like this i think i know why do they deserve what i view but they're also because there's only so norse of course literally to a fishing area takes a long time at the moment which is often. in winter time far from. their always several shots out at sea belonging to divers. they were located. it's in front of the rocky shores of bio filter bank. the white
5:49 am
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 say they're 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 mazes both in summer and in winter when the ice i'm standing on will take six hours to rise to this level at which your mother would listenings that six hours later anyone standing here will have no problem stepping out of the will to have eyes frozen to the rocks. and bio filter by divers learn how to work in pairs on their own so that they will be able to dive under the ice without an instructor.
5:50 am
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 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 it so. besides the obvious part of getting you back to the hold 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 form to. ice piles up of the white sea coast due to the eben flood.
5:51 am
huge chunks of ice create corridors and labyrinths stretching over many meters. this is the underwater world of 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 at 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
5:52 am
about outer space than they do about what's under the city of bush's vision sure the world. 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 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 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 see ida ducks i'm 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
5:53 am
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 their flat 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 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.
5:54 am
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 but nowhere else in the world can you communicate with blue whales in their natural habitat. our task is to provide
5:55 am
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 said if we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correctly am the is the syllable in the pride and that. the whales are always 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
