fluorescein

It happened on December 29, 2010 in a Canadian park Goldstream. Local river water suddenly stained neon green. Ofigevshie people rubbing my eyes to make sure it's not an illusion. River pleased unusual color for about an hour, then again became normal. After analyzing the green water, the local Ministry of Environment said it was the result of getting there a chemical "fluorescein". Neither he nor any of its decay products are not toxic, and experts are hoping that the fish and the ecology of the river were not affected.

Chukotka

We used to see this land on the small-scale maps, and consider it a little. But it is huge! From bedside Penzhina Bay to the Bering Strait about 1300 km - both from Moscow to Sevastopol. Some call this distant corner of our country's margin of Siberia, while others - the northern tip of the Far East. Let's see what actually represents the Chukotka. 

Traditional food tundra people - venison, shore - the meat and fat of marine animals. Deer meat eating ice cream (in the form of finely chopped) or poorly cooked. During the mass slaughter of deer procure the contents of the stomachs of deer, boil it with blood and fat.

Consumed as fresh and frozen blood of deer. Soups with vegetables and grains. Maritimes Chukchi especially wholesome thought walrus meat. Harvested in the traditional way, it is well maintained. From the dorsal and lateral parts of the carcass cut squares of meat along with fat and skin. In a cutting lay the liver and other refined interior. The edges of the stitched leather outside - and you can roll (k'opalgyn-kymgyt). Closer to the cold weather, the edges pull together even more, to prevent excessive zakisanie content. K'opalgyn eaten fresh, podkisshem and ice cream form. Fresh walrus meat is cooked. In raw and cooked meat eating beluga and gray whales, as well as their skin with a layer of fat. In the northern and southern regions of Chukotka, a great place to take diet salmon, grayling, saffron cod, sockeye salmon, flounder. Of the major salmon harvest yukola. Many of the Chukchi reindeer herders vyalyat, salted, smoked fish, salted eggs. The meat of sea mammals are very fatty, so it requires herbal supplements. Deer and coastal Chukchi are traditionally eaten a lot of wild herbs, roots, berries and seaweed. Leaves of dwarf willow, sorrel, edible roots were frozen, booze, mixed with fat and blood. From the roots, pounded with a meat and walrus fat, made balls. From imported flour has long been cooked porridge, fried cakes of seal blubber.

Now we will focus on trapping and fishing, dog sledding, Chukchi hunters and much more.

Production of marine mammal hunting for maritime Chukchi was of tremendous importance. The meat of dead animals was the basis of their diet. It also went to feed the sled dogs. Skins of seals used for sewing summer clothes and shoes; walrus skins were used with the device yaranga (summer tire, litter on the floor), the slinky canoes, etc., of the bearded seal skins made soles and straps of different widths and thickness for economic and trade Needs . Dog harness was manufactured entirely from the skins of marine animals. Walrus tusk went to small crafts, whale bones - by events on to sleds, etc. Thus, the welfare of seaside population wholly dependent on the successful hunt for sea animals

 

 

Lorintsy extract walrus. Seals were hunted individually, and the hunt for walrus, and especially in China produces collectively. Walrus were hunted mainly in spring and summer (from early May to October). Went to fish on the canoe. At the prow of boats were one or two harpooneer in the middle of 5 or 6 rowers in the stern, "baydarny boss" (owner of boats). Having found floating in the ice walrus hunters chased them and threw them harpooneers harpoons. Float from the skin of a seal, removed "stocking" and pressurized air (buoy), attached to a belt harpoon, obstruct the movement of a wounded walrus, who sought to flee, and did not allow sinking of the killed animals and pointed out its location. Exhausted walrus finished with a spear, towed to the nearest ice floe and it penetrates to skin. In the hunt for the whales involved several canoes. Carefully at the oars approaching the whale, the hunters threw his harpoon, longer than a walrus, and fitted with 3.2 pairs of floats. Finishing off weakened whale special long spear and towed to shore. In the second half of XIX century. widespread firearm (rifle shop, and special whaling gun), its use has led to the disappearance of some of these methods of hunting and to facilitate others. Winter and spring began to kill seals in produha rifle. During the spring hunt was no longer necessary to crawl close to a dormant seal, and in this connection has disappeared and masking all its accessories (special clothing and scrapers). Sometimes hunted directly with the sledges. Pochuev beast, dog team so quickly rushed that the seals did not have time to go through the ice, and Hunter, jumped off the sled and fired at him. Leaving the dog to the edge of the ice, hunters took a small canoe on the sled. Killed by a rifle seal pulled dropping - a special device with hooks on a long strap.
