i. 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. sure why you had a canary so why did you feel like giving us a song or something wrong with your frozen wouldn't boss guy do you gargle before you start singing these new. water your best go into is sure was more. than watch from the water well it's gives our 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 . you. just my three want to bring us tearing. skin color distinguishes these marine mammals from their relatives. polluted cobs 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 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 amulets the conditions of their natural habitat as much as possible he's nice review. in the come the luck shot day of the white see specialists from the petersburg 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 ok still 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 a special type in cool head about. being with this same company as this trip. with them 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 type of photography do and if he does you 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 and. i've been diving for the past eight nine years mostly in topical water. mostly in southeast asia and. mediterranean away called a cold water but now. it's the warm water computor 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. 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 little chunks of ice nothing of the kind anywhere else in the world this original structure does the job of for really man.

i styling in the white sea is a serious challenge in winter the water is bitterly cold. several hot spot furnace tears 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 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 the air on to the suit ok ok so you have to meet up first and then you have a dry suit which is all that once it has sealed you feel that the neck so in theory it's not supposed to allow a person if you have an inflated hose here and it up 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 ferret 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 care over your head you're ok if you're ok the first dive is always made by an experienced instructor 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.

by 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. fish move slowly through the cold war to the sea bass are used to the divers and often let them come up very close. there looks

a 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. just. her name here for sure we had a mortar. it was true ari do you want to

come or. we only need ice cream that's going to be have a. beer at that. thing where you. go. from point a few people the underwater world is not the only attraction of the white sea in 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 a special sledge and a parachute good manners 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 to 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 push. by much you look like you're catching the wind is what i enjoy most of all i should hear it is like riding a giant horse galloping at breakneck speed i am carried away by a feeling of exhilaration you know because i am fully aware of the infinite power of nature's forces. they could power over as 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. i'm i'm. i'm .

palooka trainer alexander and biologist natalia are cut off from civilization. they live in the village of new muggle 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 up. to the belugas numa a tree owner would go to the wife see 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. i. think 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. therefore a very many people come here they want to communicate with the belugas and touch them and to sing in you're sure what's most important is that this is not a circus of showing off the animals ability to leap or carry balls in there to say well we've been pretty clear people simply communicate with the living creatures you will see just the old. palookas get a tough. to humans very quickly if they communicate with them for a long time they learn the habits. of the deal with you know 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 out of what you're going to turn 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. many people don't do it gently enough so we put them off we protect our charges and fight for that if. this is an offshore enclosure for belugas even a natural environment in wintertime these palooka whales always flock to go for swell winds and currents create cracks and holes in the ice. there 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

recalled 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 there are villages founded hundreds of years ago by coastal is. the oldest one is jordan i already which means black river. 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 longest sea trips. by the 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 going to me you can still see women on such boats thorough in a particular way saddle oarsmen usually sit with their backs facing forward to the negative of the local women sit facing each other like this. or that is. also because there's only so the course of the trip to a fishing area takes a long time and those in the moment which is off. peak in winter time far from. their own were 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. 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 building of ice frozen to the rocks. 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. 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 diving is 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 normal panic very difficult to get out of that side. 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. 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. bus you can fly to another planet. nobody can certainly not now ask the americans a visitor the moon's probes of landed on mars and venus but actually another planet is right here on earth it's 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 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 sea. and old wind powered generator is the symbol of the biological 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 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 who are their own nestlings help the ana females to race day baby birds and sometimes several get together to form a kind of kindergarten where they grow their flat things together share with me if they 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 odds are dogs are never affected by the cold water they bob in the waves the whole day. undercoat is the best biological heat insulator he 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 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 blue whales in their natural habitat. our task is to provide a good dive so that the whale school so when they 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 am the is the syllable in the pride and that . the whales are was 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

they can comprehend body language and facial features. but divers or was calm feeling that the whales understand them perfectly and even on so back with their unusual speech. for that reason sailors nicknamed them sea canaries. the top of.

the world for good in. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. deadly rivals the decades. if you had fifteen thousand people killing each other in any other country there would be diplomats there with mediators a lot of. self imposed out costs from society i will cut myself chemical attack my brother understand my contact immediately. going to leave basically attack the cops of my anger and my frustration. that

they are well into the ten dollars. to the most violent gangs in the us history. is just all model killing joke with colors matching the national flag. but this country uses violence when it reaches and then it legitimizes the violence they are made in america on the ati.

it's just so.
