I'm in Churchill, in northern Manitoba.

我在丘吉爾，在馬尼托巴省北部。

It is a small town of about 900 people situated on the southwestern shore of the Hudson Bay.

這是一個位於哈德遜灣西南岸的小鎮，約有900人。

Churchill is pretty remote there, no roads that come here.

丘吉爾那裡很偏僻，沒有來這裡的路。

And because of that, there's this sort of beautiful sense of isolation.

也正因為如此，才有了這種美麗的孤獨感。

When you're quiet, all you can hear is the shore.

當你安靜下來的時候，你能聽到的只有岸邊的聲音。

You can hear the bay moving in and out.

你可以聽到海灣進進出出的聲音。

The landscape around here is so striking, due in fact, to the really harsh climate that it exists in.

這裡的風景如此引人注目，其實是由於這裡存在的氣候真的很惡劣。

They're really strong winds, so the trees only grow on one side.

他們真的是強風，所以樹只長在一邊。

And you've got all of these smooths over rock faces that have these amazing, brightly colored likens growing on them.

你已經得到了所有這些光滑的巖壁，有這些驚人的，鮮豔的同類生長在上面。

And in between all of that, they're wildflower swinging in the wind.

而在這一切之間，他們是在風中盪漾的野花。

So it's really kind of a smattering of all of these amazing bits that you wouldn't expect maybe to exist up here in such a harsh place.

所以，它真的是一種所有這些驚人的部分，你不會想到也許存在於這裡這樣一個嚴酷的地方。

Yeah, what's cool about Churchill in this region is that they're actually a lot of different ways to get to see wildlife in nature.

是啊，丘吉爾在這個地區最酷的是，他們其實有很多不同的方式可以去看自然界的野生動物。

Around today, I get to go kayaking with the beluga whale, which is one of the most frequent visitors here in Churchill.

大約在今天，我可以和白鯨一起去劃皮艇，白鯨是丘吉爾這裡最常來的遊客之一。

And I am thrilled these guys are here in the thousands.

而我很高興這些人在這裡成千上萬。

And from what I hear, belugas are pretty quirky.

而且據我所知，白鯨是很奇特的。

E mean Addy, who is a kayak guide here in Churchill.

我是說阿迪，他是丘吉爾的皮划艇導遊。

And she is incredibly passionate about what she does.

而且她對自己的工作充滿了熱情。

She has grown up here and knows these animals better than anyone.

她在這裡長大，比任何人都瞭解這些動物。

How maney beluga whales are around here right now.

現在這附近有多少白鯨？

So our population is the western Hudson Bay population, so it's about 68,000 on the coastline.

所以我們的人口是哈德遜灣西部的人口，所以在海岸線上大約有68000人。

But in our area, in the river here, it's about 3 to 5000.

但在我們這一帶，在這裡的河裡，大概有3到5千人。

0, my gosh.

0，我的天。

So how do we approach these whales?

那麼我們該如何對待這些鯨魚呢？

Respectfully, when we're kayaking, We're not gonna be kind of charging after the whales at all.

恕我直言，當我們劃皮艇的時候，我們不會去追趕鯨魚的

We're gonna kayak out and they're gonna come to us, so we're not gonna go find them.

我們要劃皮艇出去，他們會來找我們，所以我們不會去找他們。

They kind of dictate what we're doing.

他們那種決定我們在做什麼。

Well, I hope some come say hello.

好吧，我希望有人來打招呼。

Say Well ready.

說好的準備。

Yes, I'm ready.

是的，我準備好了。

Thank you.

謝謝你了

Blue guys need permanently open water.

藍色的傢伙需要永久的開水。

Thio survive, obviously because they need to breathe.

Thio的生存，顯然是因為他們需要呼吸。

So in the summertime, when this is all defrosted, they come here for a number of different reasons.

所以在夏天的時候，當這一切都被解凍的時候，他們來這裡有很多不同的原因。

They come to have their babies because the water is so much warmer here than it is in the bay.

它們來生孩子是因為這裡的水比海灣的水暖和多了。

They come here to feed, and then they come here to rub their dead skin off on the rocks because they actually showed their skin every year.

它們來這裡覓食，然後來這裡在岩石上擦掉它們的死皮，因為它們其實每年都會露出皮膚。

Oh, my God.

哦，我的上帝。

E Just saw whale face.

剛剛看到鯨魚的臉。

What's really kind of crazy about beluga whales is that you can hear them sort of before you see them, they're all around you coming up for air, and it's kind of like a forceful, loud sound like hide and go seek.

白鯨的瘋狂之處在於 你在看到它們之前就能聽到它們的聲音 它們在你周圍上氣不接下氣 就像躲貓貓一樣的聲音

Yeah, they're really gonna hiding.

是啊，他們真的要躲起來了。

And then one just kind of comes right up next to your boat.

然後，一個只是一種來的權利旁邊你的船。

Yeah, I think they just want to play like this guy be chasing me.

是啊，我覺得他們只是想玩這個傢伙追我。

He's under there.

他在下面

Oh, wow.

哦，哇。

Churchill River is chock full of beluga whales.

丘吉爾河有很多白鯨。

It's not like you just see one or two every 10 minutes.

又不是每10分鐘就能看到一兩個。

Sometimes you get really lucky and see maybe like, five altogether playing and rolling around, and they all just kind of rotate and come close to you.

有時你真的很幸運，看到也許像，五個共玩和滾來滾去，他們都只是一種旋轉，靠近你。

Everything about Churchill is about being in somebody else's world.

丘吉爾的一切，都是在別人的世界裡。

It's not our world anymore.

這已經不是我們的世界了。

It's the whales world, and you're so aware of that when they're around you, and it's really need to put yourself under their circumstances.

這就是鯨魚的世界，當它們在你身邊的時候，你就會意識到這一點，真的需要把自己放在它們的環境中。

Churchill and the area around it is full of beautiful wild things and their precious and they're special, and it's one of those places that you just have to see to understand and believe.

丘吉爾和它周圍的地區充滿了美麗的野生動物 它們的珍貴和它們的特殊性，它是那些你必須看到才能理解和相信的地方之一。
