cell phone apps some control over my life and i mean stores just oppression but that's just my opinion. the white sea its surface remains choked with ice minutely some months a year. the chilly breath of the arctic ocean peeps the water freezing cold. near the coast however the high winds and bitter cold recede. that even in winter water can be seen through holes in the ice. board squeals and cracking sounds can often be heard around the ring. this is how so-called canaries of the sea communicate. typically they hunt on
10:31 am
the white sea is their 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. why you had a canary why did you feel like giving a song or something wrong with your throat. gargle before you start singing. water your best.
10:32 am
throat some fish oil. thank you 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 tiring. 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. later their skin acquires a milky shade. you know yes this is exactly how they should be
10:33 am
kept but the people in society should know that the bloke a whale is not a stupid fish as many believe that. we 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 it's nice reasoning. in the come the luck should day of the white 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 for baluga 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.
10:34 am
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 their natural habitats. before they're allowed to do so even experienced divers have to attend 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 it maybe to russia. this is a good place to visit species for the type of photography do that 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 new experience for me and i your i've been diving for the past eight nine
10:35 am
years mostly in topical war. in southeast asia and low bitching mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's warm water compared to here. in order to get to the depths of the sea winter divers first have to break through the frozen so. the thickness of ice is about forty to fifty centimeters in the diving school. which is hard work so the divers take the short intervals. was the word this device was invented by ancient people it's a type believe it was taken it a step further and designed an intelligent device for 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.
10:36 am
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 should be certified by the professional association of diving instructors before venturing on to the ice because 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
10:37 am
have the guy sit which is all the one that has feels he is feels at the neck told us a theory it's not supposed to allow him to tell 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 a 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 thora tricks 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 if you like to task is to learn to
10:38 am
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 this seaweed.
10:39 am
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 cotton calls the given a green hue to the water of the white sea.
10:40 am
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. more you. know. the 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 a mile a 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
10:41 am
a parachute good interest of almost what i like about kite sledging is that you have a choice of parachute three metre parachute is good for strong winds 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 so all of them will pull you forward and you won't get to. by much be a good book but 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 you go i'm carried away by a feeling of exhilaration because i am fully aware of the infinite power. or of
10:42 am
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 i mean if the study. the weather on the white sea often changes abruptly but after a long struggle the leg is finally able to catch the wind. choose your language. fully recover though in a financial planner say still some of the. treatments that the consensus can.

i 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 get.
10:45 am
two of the belugas numa tree owner 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. it was. her. first 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.
10:46 am
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 beatty's they only have been pretty clear people simply communicates with a living creature as rooms this is the world. palookas get to tie. to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of thinking with you know you look like you're sometimes their skin aitches 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 to make a point of scratching and stroking all the if she spots. we also masters their stout bodies. they open their mouth but we don't allow everybody
10:47 am
to touch their nice looking tongues. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off when 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 find hundred years ago called coast to as.
10:48 am
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. is. as 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. by the
10:49 am
women went fishing in the city 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 if they're on a particular way. as men usually sit with their backs facing forward looking at the local women sit facing each other like this. why do they deserve. so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and those in a moment which is often. in winter time far from. their own was several shots out to 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.
10:50 am
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 all of 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 rocks. in bio filter bang 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. 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
10:51 am
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 or 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 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 formed . ice piles up of the white sea coast due to the eben flow. huge chunks of ice create corridors and labyrinths stretching over many meters. this is the underwater world bio filter bank. it is so cold because plankton
10:52 am
lurking on the rocks in ice cleans the water and also gives it unique colors. divers call this place the ice kingdom. last until you can fly to another planet. nobody can certainly not now ask the americans a visit at 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 candle laps of gulf of the white see.
10:53 am
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 often pairing 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 nests on the shore they always stick together on land as they do on the sea. young female dogs who are their own nest legs help the ana females to race they
10:54 am
baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flash things together sit with me if they find a safe place with enough food for their ducklings grazing them together is a convenient thing to do with. 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. 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
10:55 am
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 the 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 were in the deep waters for a while communicate with people and then come back to the surface we treat them to fish if they fulfill the task correctly the is the syllable in the pride and.
10:56 am
the whales are also as careful divers cannot move as fast and graciously as they count 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 have perfect echo location. 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 answer back with their

deadly rivals the decades. if you had fifteen thousand people killing each other in any other country there would be diplomats there would be mediators. self-imposed out costs from society i will attack myself chemical attack my brother understand my contact immediately. going to be basically attack the cops of my anger and my frustration the. judge well into the door. to the most violent gangs in us history. is just all model kill or be killed with colors matching the national flag.
10:59 am
but this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes the violence they all made in america on the ati. morning news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images for world has been seeing from the streets of canada. the giant corporations are today. join me on a journey to the heart of the kremlin to place.
