\"Saint<\/a> \"SAINT<\/a><\/p>\n

We were going to a Russian the school for a visit. I was thinking about a connection to learning that would be interesting to students, teachers and the community. The city of Saint Petersburg is on the Neva River.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Neva<\/b>\u00a0(Russian<\/span><\/a>:\u00a0\u041d\u0435\u0432\u0430\u0301,\u00a0IPA:\u00a0<\/small>[n\u02b2\u026a\u02c8va]<\/span><\/a>) is a\u00a0river<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in northwestern\u00a0Russia<\/span><\/a>\u00a0flowing from\u00a0Lake Ladoga<\/span><\/a>\u00a0through the western part of\u00a0Leningrad Oblast<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(historical region of\u00a0Ingria<\/span><\/a>) to the\u00a0Neva Bay<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0Gulf of Finland<\/span><\/a>. Despite its modest length (74\u00a0km), it is the third largest river in\u00a0Europe<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in terms of average\u00a0discharge<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(after theVolga<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Danube<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Neva is the only river flowing from\u00a0Lake Ladoga<\/span><\/a>. It flows through the city\u00a0Saint Petersburg<\/span><\/a>, three smaller towns of\u00a0Shlisselburg<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Kirovsk<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Otradnoye<\/span><\/a>, and dozens of settlements. The river is navigable throughout and is part of the\u00a0Volga\u2013Baltic Waterway<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0White Sea \u2013 Baltic Canal<\/span><\/a>. It is a site of numerous major historical events.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Baltic Sea ?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Baltic Sea drainage basin\u00a0 consists of 14 countries; Finland,\u00a0 Sweden, Norway, Russia, Estonia,\u00a0 Lithuania,\u00a0 Latvia,\u00a0 Belarus, Ukraine,\u00a0 Poland, Czech Republic,\u00a0 Slovakia, Germany and Denmark. Except sea water from the Atlantic, most of the water\u00a0 comes from rivers. The sea\u00a0 receives surface water drainage from 5 countries;\u00a0 Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Norway and Ukraine.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Baltic Sea is connected to the North Sea through narrow straits. The Danish straits are\u00a0 shallow and\u00a0 narrow. There is a shallow threshold in these straits so the\u00a0 heavy seawater can’t\u00a0 easily\u00a0 stream to the Baltic sea. On the contrary there is usually a\u00a0 stream of\u00a0\u00a0 sweetwater to the Atlantic.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Because the Baltic Sea water is neither sweetwater\u00a0 nor saltwater it is called crackish water. Because of\u00a0 this speciality in the saltcontent of the water, the Baltic Sea ecosystem is very vulnerable.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a museum of water science here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s easy to see where the concept for this museum came from. According to Peter the Great’s plans for the city, it was specifically water that would join the city of St. Petersburg with Europe and, by filling its canals, turn this marshy site into the ‘Venice of the North’.<\/p>\n

Museum of Water located in an old water tower<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

St. Petersburg’s Museum of Water is located in a former water-tower, and was presented to the city by local water monopoly Vodokanal as part of the 300th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary celebrations. The water-tower, built in 1860 by Ivan Merts and Ernest Shuberskiy, was the first in St. Petersburg and marked the start of a proper water supply to the city, and now it houses a unique museum that uses the latest in exhibition technology.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is modern, hi-tech and hands-on. Visitors can, among other things, try their hand at assembling a plumbing system, operate pumps and learn about the workings of the dam and steam engine which pumps the water in the tower. Here you can see everything to do with the provision and processing of water in the city, from its founding to the present day, including antique toilets and state-of-the-art purification systems.<\/p>\n

The Museum of Water and was opened 28 May 2003, and the exhibition itself was designed by the Russian Museum and architect Evgeny Podgornov, who equipped the tower with a glass elevator and smart exterior lighting which has made the tower a distinctive feature on the Neva Embankment. The tower also has an observation platform with excellent views over the river, and a pretty garden, both of which have already become extremely popular with the city’s inhabitants and visitors. The tower also houses temporary exhibitions, conferences and seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/span>I saw thinking about \u00a0that as a connection as we all think about water as an issue or world problem. There are projects and ideas that can be done by any group. But, I had no information about the river. I had talked to my Russian cohort about water, the Baltic Sea, and how I work with children teaching about the Chesapeake Bay from the National Geographic and the Smithsonian Educational Research Center. We talked community, collaboration and we were exploring ideas we had in common that may turn into a project.The Neva River is a part of St. Petersburg’s charm and there is a connection that we had in the study of water.<\/span><\/p>\n

The River Neva<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So I found that there is a museum that had been given the Baltic Prize in Russia for its work that is a Heritage Site. Michael arranged for me to visit the site and learn about his work with the NGO to help students learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Sara said we could walk across the bridge over the river, it was to me just an interesting<\/strong> thought. I was not sure that she really meant it. \u00a0The bridge is across the Neva River. You know, it’s winter.<\/strong> The river is frozen over, this wide expanse of water has ice breakers that clear a path. So I thought, well, it will be a way of experiencing the elements and getting a different experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

People usually talk about the white nights, not the white ice. So I was game to walk the bridge across the river. Actually we also returned by the bridge. I learned from the taxi driver about the white nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0White Nights in St. Petersburg or\u00a0Beliye Nochi<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

From late May to early July the nights are bright in St Petersburg,\u00a0with the brightest period,the\u00a0White Nights, normally lasting from June 11th to July 2nd<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The White Nights are a curious phenomenon caused by\u00a0St. Petersburg\u2019s very northerly geographical location- at 59 degrees 57\u2032 North (roughly on the same latitude as Oslo, Norway, the southern tip of Greenland and Seward, Alaska). St. Petersburg is the world\u2019s\u00a0most northern city with a population over 1 million, and its stands at such a high latitude\u00a0that the sun does not descend below the horizon enough for the sky to grow dark.In fact night becomes curiously indistinguishable from day, so much so that the\u00a0authorities never need to turn the city\u2019s streetlights on during this time. That must be amazing to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

But watching ice form is not quite so , romantic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Walk over the bridge we did. It was an amazing experience to look down that vast expanse of frozen ice and to get a panoramic view of the city.<\/p>\n

There were foot prints on the ice, in lots of places , and only a few places where their was open water. There is they say , an icebreaker that comes up and down the river, but I only saw its channel , where it broke the ice the last time that it came through.<\/p>\n

It was cold. C O L D! I thought about the Jack London stories as we walked, so then the wind was not so bad. Most people were in cars. There was a thin film of ice but no one seemed bothered by it. A man was fixing something on the bridge where it opened. I looked down once or twice through the cracks but then decided not to\u2026 carefully , I walked on the support sides of the walkway.( Long way down.)<\/p>\n

No other bridge traffic\u2026 on foot. No birds, just smoke stacks belching into the sky plumes of smoke in puffy spirals on the distant side of the river. I think there was a bridge loo. Not sure for whom.<\/p>\n

I was told that at night\u00a0 in the summer, bridges are open most of the night until 4 in the morning and that people come to see the boat traffic along the Neva. The Baltic Sea traffic. It is a quicker route this way\u2026<\/p>\n

We scampered down the steps\u2026 after walking over, there was ice, sometimes then we walked arm in arm, and most of the time we forgot about the cold. \u00a0I was worrying about the film of ice\u00a0 to the cross walk and then there were huge buildings and we came to the school. My face was feeling frozen but I was well dressed for the cold. except for my face.<\/p>\n
