although i've been around for forty years since and. i still don't know what kind of magnitude cracks people here. and like when a man comes here for three years. he will stay here much longer but if he leaves and never comes back he will miss the place. the beauty you can perhaps just the vast expanses these three big yellow months the land the pacific ocean the stars over your head and when. they purify you. the food is there here people are hard it was.

a move in the city but i know this place is better than here a piece of heaven belongs to the. bearing on island russia's far east again hold still a ship has dropped anchor in a bank and a village of nickel square each year this ship bring scientists from all over russia to the islands they come here to study the unique natural environment of the commando highlands. that is the box our search day should we grab a sure thing it's our generator. vixen. coolin has done a good deal of research into marine mammals he spends each summer on the island. he landed without a doubt binoculars and a high powered telescope our research is most indispensable tools here we mostly

use them to record the number of first seals we count them every five days. his base is only twenty five kilometers from the village of mccall square the best way to get around is on an all terrain vehicle with caterpillar tracks. the island's main road goes along the beach where traffic is possible between science. vehicles move along rocky paths along the tundra. these islands of the top of an underwater mountain range stretching across the pacific from russia to alaska the commando off the pella go includes two large islands bearing and near two small islands called the gulf coast and are

a common. they were named after commander vicious bearing a seafarer who discovered them in seven hundred forty one born in denmark vetus unison wearing served in the russian fleet he was in charge of geographic expeditions organized by peter the great. bearing ship ended up wrecked on this island. of hardships they suffered during the winter define description of high winds bitter cold militarism sludge ice. and there was an agonizing water just terrible. pass a new came to the commander rollins when he was seventeen years old. since then he's worked as a sailor a fisherman and a hunter. he singlehandedly crossed the pacific and not before reaching seattle.

he is now a permanent resident nicole story but he's preparing illustrations for his book about the commander island's. little varing screw is lucky to be stranded at this place there must have been a guardian angel watching from above because the ship was thrown over a reef into this cozy bay. most of the varying crew managed to survive precisely because they had learned ashore but the commander died unable to withstand the harsh winter for a long time nobody knew where he had been buried his grave was found only in one nine hundred ninety one during an archeological expedition organized for the purpose local residents survey lists of state was almost expedition to meet. with. scientists tested the soil in several places to see how much phosphorus it contained they found the greatest amount of phosphorous around bearings grave.

burying was not put in a coffin he was buried on the plank survivors were too weak to dig deep graves all agrees were shallow this is the place. the members of the bering expedition were amazed by the diversity of the island's foreigner particularly the huge amount of marine animals according to their records the first seals breeding grounds took up nearly the whole coastline now there are just four seal mysteries on the barren island one of them is in the northwestern part of it the scientists space situated next to it. the roar of sea normals can be heard many kilometers away from the bait the shore

is divided by the high rocks and several sections and cannot be seen from one point in full. to count the seals scientists have to look at. every little day. it was. the first seals of playfully for licking on the beach seals of the largest animals here they lie around looking forward to the arrival of fame or else after they come here the place will be teeming with harems the smaller seals will be driven away they will move to the edge of the beach. in winter the first seals had for the sea of japan but they spend some of on the commander on it's nearly a quarter of a million seals gather hair each year this is almost one fifth of the world's total . there are only males on the beach now instead the seals of busy dividing the breeding ground into plots for their hard rain's once they have moved

into their territory they will stay there until late august. after the famous seals arrive but they truly off limits to outsiders the males will kill anybody showing up there. these powerful animals quickly respond to any sign of danger is so strong that a brief jerk of the neck can send a forty kilogram carol flying over several meters. because of the beauty and your ability that cope's first seals quickly faced a mass extermination much like the seals the other inhabitants of the island like arctic fox is and sea alters were not faithful of humans as a result bandaged up easy prey for the hunters who came to the island by the end of the eighteenth century valuable fur bearing animals and found themselves on the brink of extinction. every now and then russian merchants pillage the

islands arctic foxes the sea otters where in incredible numbers here and then they were killed by the thousands you see car was. made extinct within twenty six years his late commander islands where the only habitat for that marine mammal. in one thousand nine hundred three almost the entire territory amount of violence was declared a protected area consing and other economic activity were bound as a result there was a gradual growth in the population of rare animals. thursday's idea bill me as an employee of the reserve he monitors the population of birds and animals and keeps a record. we are going to ari tam and top are called we are in luck today the sea is camera and the weather is nice there is

a big there are lots of sea birds and there are also many animals sea lions harbor seals and sea otters we will try to take pictures of them. each year about a million birds nest them come on the islands there are real khorasan almost all of the coastal cliffs the bird population on talk of island is one of the most impressive. up to one hundred thousand has it tough to. gather in an area of some five hundred square metres they are called northern pirates because of the bright plumage. of each year we caption tag about a hundred birds it won't let me go now i'll have to open it speak it's ok it happens. i'm going to try and get now it's best to let them get back to their holes or else be taken far beyond the places where the other tufted puffins nest if one of these birds gets into a puffins nest the only vital guest might well be killed by another puff and the

room we usually let them go by tossing them into the air. and the courts it seems he doesn't want to fly today. these birds cannot take off from the ground which is why they look clumsy instead they use a steep slope as a launch pad tufted pathans feet in the open sea they dive to depths about two hundred meters in the hunt for small fry. quite often siegel snatch fish from tufted puffins that can't fly fast enough they swoop down on puffins to make them drop the fish and then they snatch it up in mid-air. sure and for now from both you laser and america have it the commander islands a drought this wind is native to north america the commander islands of the eastern most tip of its habits on top are called island hosts russia's biggest nesting colony of glaucus when those scientists put the numbers at over one thousand five

hundred pounds. with. these eggs were laid by a bloke is willing to go such birds protect their nests by attacking intruders we've disturbed these two from their nest should we stop here they will attack us from above sometimes they might even whack us over the head with their wings i would recommend that you should not hang around here too long. assumes they feel safe it goes waste no time getting to the nests otherwise the neighbors may destroy much. the harbor seals are only thirty metres away from us we are going to approach the big rock and try to get a close look at them. on top on cause island a rare subspecies of harbor seals have the breeding ground for most of the water during low tide the animals usually turns on the shore they slide into the water

slightest sign of danger. the commander islands are a kingdom of rain fall and relentlessly cold winds winters here last for nearly eight months most of the year low clouds on the ground rare occasions some give spare in ireland the chance to reveal its true fields. the northern part of the island is flat with low shores. southern pot is covered with mountains and vertical cliffs sticking out to sea. a warm can see the two highest waterfalls in the island which are especially stunning on the snow melts and spring. you can take a boat to see the rocks. the sun millions of birds it

all looks like a pillow that has been torn into pieces. and magnificent do you. plan . the world. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered. download the official ati application your i phone or i pod touch from the i.q. zaps to. what john. sheesh life on the go. video on demand r.t.s. my broadcasts and already just feeds now in the palm of your.

question on the dot com. airplanes arriving at nicole's going to airports are welcome events for the population if they're an island in winter time flights are often canceled because of gale force winds and poor visibility. sometimes regular service does not resume for weeks at a time the islands are known for their rigorous climate.

here cold arctic waters clash with the warm currents coming from the southern seas to create a humid sub-arctic climate. xin witnesses winters here very long and it may snow in may or in early june. in fact i'm sure you will see snow. and his paintings surrogate pass a new king tries to recreate the beauty of the local nature over many years he's traveled around with minor islands. most of his works were inspired by his trips. now so they permanently lives in nickel square and teaches out to children at a local c.v.s. . here you need to somehow make the nansen of the wing look more prominent try again. and you

won't want to have those dark spots in your picture the rocks the bird and the weighing. the children usually draws sea birds which of the most common inhabitants of the command the nature of many of the nest in a room called a common which is a fifty seven needs a high rock and sledge is accommodate more than fifty thousand birds of seventeen different species reserve staff are very careful about taking stock of the island's other since they have to avoid startling the birds such an incident could accidentally make them not eggs down the side of the. head go molds have a long breeding period and gillum of female can lay up to seven eggs at a time if one of them goes missing she is ready to produce many more value which is

to take advantage of this behavior before the nature reserve came into being they would come to our a common island to move the eggs that had been late in order to get fresh ones a few days later. sea lions a fund of relaxing on the only common island this animal is closely related to the first seal but it is much bigger in the eighteenth century the loud howls to signal danger to see thera's and that they should stick clear of the animals and the hazardous rocks in the area. the sea lion population on the thunder roylance the shrunken recently is a vast thousand sea lines come here each summer a females affair for the humans they leave the beach assumes the same. that the sea lions are building hiram's for themselves by gallery and together a group of cows they always try to keep the cows by their sides because if they

leave they may not come back this is a last ditch battle for the males. there in ireland as well away from normal sea routes and fishing boats in the rain giants will complete the securing. of the beautiful whales often enter the bay. the local see them and say look at the whales to each other with horses is a common thing for the residents of the laundry because whales migrate past the commander islands so it's very easy to observe them aboard. dr olga philosopher and even fit buton have been studying the behavior of whales

for many years the scientists are in luck a respirations of beaked whale has approached them and. they were first discovered off the sort of the man. drones. in which they don't let people approach them and that is why we're in such a hurry if they come to the surface where we have only got a couple of minutes to get a few pictures up close you know but even that's not always the case nobody knows anything about these species they always stick together. whales can dive from the depths of several kilometers in search food after getting adult swim down disappearing without a trace. we're getting all this place is terra incognita each time we discover something new there's a simpler way of doing such research by studying mice or birds for example and you do get quicker results that way but we don't know much about this species if it

takes a good deal of hard work to study them in you. in summer comes millions of fish driven by natural instinct to strive to get the best spawning areas in the northern part of barren island there is a small fish farm. fishing is an essential part of the local economy. the fishing season means a very hard work and i think any first human will agree with me. but it's just specially rough when you're a part of a team of fisherman. you get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night

you wake up before the cigarette between your teeth goes out. the fishing season last throughout the summer is very hard work indeed but people are virtually dying to do it. fish dominates the local cuisine and the fishery is the main source of income for local residents in early june the valuable red salmon is the first to life spawning . so this caviar isn't right it's small and very fancy later when the fish ends in the fresh waters and begin to support this system gets transformed into the fish stop eating and thoughts lose their facts and become red. the caviar gets bigger and ripens. us

a very thin ish the red some and is the favorite food of first seals still day pass and you'll observe this many times. they are real hunters this animal is very pretty it's impossible to tear your eyes away from the beach as seals come here for summer the beaches are full of them it is a strong beautiful nice. the master of the sea. whipped in a cool and getting ready for the most dangerous part of his job along with his son so again he's heading to the very center of the breeding grounds in a special plywood box to check on the health of the first seals but right now he's worried about what one sea line is going to do next the lion pricks up his ears when he sees something strange appearing in each. his he can crush of plywood box just as easily as a human can imagine goats is not

a problem for him to destroy the shelter of which was the same line weighs more than seven hundred kilograms according to published figures they can weigh as much as a ton the plywood is a bit lately as far as the seal is concerned. first seals just like any such movements they explore is trying to walk a slowly as they can to avoid startling animals. but it does help one of the seals came up to us to say hello to you couldn't sniff us out because the wind was blowing our way otherwise he wouldn't have come anywhere near us. first seals liven up towards evening when the temperature drops or marine mammals are quite comfortable at this time considering they spend most of their lives in icy water. the scientists are going to monitor the first sales every

day during the whole summer period. for an urban resident customs of the hosam of cities life and they're an island they seem monotonous and boring. regardless people still come in droves to the commander runs. although i've been around for forty years. i still don't know what kind of magnetic tracks people here like but it. wasn't for hampshire as the vast expanse of us here there's nothing the i can

stumble against. people here are different these three big elements the land of the pacific ocean when the stars are already your heads and when they purify you up for this is the people here don't fool around they behave in a different way not like they do in the metro here people are more one hundred. where weigel was going oh this place is better before to hear a part of heaven belongs to the island.

man should be soon much brighter.
