This video presents images from Cousteau's expeditions on the river Danube and in the unique eco-system of the Danube Delta. Incredible images of huge collonies of pelicans, swans taking off in a way that always make me think of a 747, the word of reed and multi-color waters. We can notice the young pelicans (Pelecanus Onocrotalus) with the dark plumage, as well as the fishing tradition.
It also talks about polution, that lead to disparition of the sturgeon.

Storm on Razelm Lake
While this video is not that spectacular, I find it interesting as it shows how a storm could be on one of the great lakes in the South of Danube's Delta, Razelm Laxe (a.k.a. Razim Lake), the largest lake in Romania:
