For thirty years, Russian oceanographers have been spending their summers in a unique place in the White Sea near a cape with the self-explanatory name Belushiy. White whales, or belugas, have been coming here since time immemorial. People on the shore do not put them off, so scientists can observe the whales with the unaided eye 30–40 meters from the shore. Oceanographers set up underwater cameras, observe with the help of drones, and conduct countless experiments. Is there contact between the scientists and whales?
