- Ubukhulu ngaphezu kwezilwandle: 1,124 m;
- Ububanzi be-crater: 11 km;
- Ukuqhuma kokugcina: 2005
I-Galapagos yiziqhingi zomsuka weziqhumane. Iningi lomhlabathi wabo yizinkambu zemibala ehlukahlukene. Isabela Island , njengezinye iziqhingi ze-archipelago, yabonakala emanzini cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyisihlanu edlule. Ukubukwa kweso kwenyoni kubonisa izintaba eziningana. Okukhulu kunawo wonke, okuphakama ngaphezu kwezinga elwandle elingu-1,124 km - liyisifo se-thyroid (esakhiwe ngenxa yokuqhuma kwe-lava ephindaphindiwe kanye nesimo se-sloping) intaba-mlilo yeSierra Negra. Yesibili ngobukhulu emaqhingini aseGalapagos .
Yini ezithakazelisayo ngendawo ezithakazelisayo?
Eminyakeni engu-200 eyedlule, iziqhingi zaseGalapagos ziye zathola ukuqhuma okungaphezu kuka-50, nansi ezinye zezintaba-mlilo ezisebenza kakhulu emhlabeni. I-Sierra Negra (ekuhunyushweni okuvela eSpanishi Black Mountain) ayikho into ehlukile.
Zonke izivakashi zifika e-volcano ngosayizi walo omkhulu kanye nemvelo enhle yemvelo nxazonke. I-Sierra Negra iyintaba-mlilo esebenzayo, ukuqhuma kokugcina kwaba ngo-2005.
I-volcano inomshini othakazelisayo - i-crater yayo iyinhlangano engamakhulu amakhulu angu-9.3 km. Abavakashi banikezwa ithuba lokugibela emaphethelweni entaba-mlilo ehhashi, bheka izinyoni, izilwane nezimbali. Ukuhamba komuntu ngamunye nokuhamba okuzimele lapha akuvunyelwe ngokuphelele.
Hamba ku-crater kuvunyelwe kuphela ngombhalo. Akunqatshelwe ukuba wehlele emgodini, ngoba ukukhishwa kwegesi kwenzeka njalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphuza i-sulfur isikhathi eside kungaholela ekufeni.
Kunezinketho ezimbili zokuvakashela intaba-mlilo: owokuqala - ukukhuphukela emgodini wokubuka futhi kusuka lapha ukuze ujonge umbono ozungezile; okwesibili - kanye neqembu kanye nomfundisi ukuba akhuphukele ku-crater. Injabulo enjalo ibiza u-$ 35, kumahhashi okubiza kakhulu - $ 55.
Ukuvakasha kuya emgodini weSierra Negra
Uma unquma ukushayela i-volcano, udinga ukulungiselela kusengaphambili. Ngaphandle kwefomu elihle lomzimba, akukho okumele ukwenze lapha. Futhi akuyona okuningi ngokuphakamisa, kuhle kakhulu, kungakanani ezimweni ezizungezile. Amahora amane nesigamu kuzodingeka ahambe ngesivinini esisheshayo ezindaweni ezibi kakhulu ngokukhuphuka nokuhlaselwa emazingeni okushisa kakhulu - njengamahhashi okufanele ashiywe, izinselo zawo azikwazi ukumelana nokushisa kwenhlabathi! Kuzo izivakashi, ama-sneakers ane-sole eyonakele azobaluleka - azovikela izinyawo zabo ekushiseni nasekulimaleni.
Umzila oya eSiergro kungenzeka ngabantu abancane nabangaphakathi. Izivakashi ezikhulile azikwazi ukubona lapha. Kunemiphefumulo enesibindi, kodwa ngokuvamile ayidluli ingxenye yesithathu yomzila. Ngenxa yalokho, ukukhungatheka kanye nezindleko zezimali ezingadingekile.
Isikhathi esiphelele sohambo ngehora lesihlanu nengxenye. Ngalesi sikhathi, ibanga elingamakhilomitha angu-18 liyanqotshwa. Ukukhuphuka kuqala emahlathini amanzi ashisayo. Ngezinye izikhathi kufanele unqobe izindawo ezishisayo kakhulu, futhi ngisho namafu avikela ilanga alondolozi. Ngokusobala, udinga ukuthatha isikrini selanga kanye namanzi amaningi okuphuza ngangokunokwenzeka (ngangokunokwenzeka ukuthi ungathwala).
Iningi laleyo ndlela yindawo egwadule e-red lava. Indawo yokugcina, indawo enemibala kakhulu, engamakhilomitha angu-4 inqotshwa kuphela ngezinyawo, amahhashi ashiywe endaweni yokupaka.
Imifula esentabeni evulekayo ayikhunjulwa. Okuhle kakhulu lapho inkungu ivula umkhumbi we-volcano ngendwangu emhlophe, efana "nokuqhuma okumhlophe." Ezindaweni lapho i-lava ingazange ithinte khona izimila, kunezinhlobo eziningi zezihlahla, izimbali ze-shades ezihlukahlukene zihlangana. Emithambekeni enombalwa omkhulu ukhula izihlahla ze-guava. Izithelo zazo zivunyelwe ukuba zidle ngokuphelele konke.
Kuseduze nendawo yokuhamba kwe-lava, i-green less iba. Kunezinhlobonhlobo zama-lava ezinemibala eminingi - amaphutha amnyama ahlukile ngamadwala aphuzi, aphuzi nombala obomvu. Enhlanganisweni engenakuqondakala, amadwala amnyama nambala ajoyina ndawonye. Esikhathini sokuvakasha esifikile lapha okokuqala, ikhanda liyazungeza lapho kubonakala khona amagorji amaningi ahlukahlukene. Ngasemuva, i-blue sea gleams, futhi eduze kwayo kuyindlela nje endleleni eya phansi kwelava.
Ungafika kanjani lapha?
Ungathola eSiergro njengengxenye yesikhumbuzo. Ukuzithutha kabusha akuvunyelwe, kusukela ku-95% weziqhingi zaseGalapagos , kuhlanganise ne- Isabela - iNational Reserve . Izihambeli ziqala ukusuka emzaneni waseVillamil . Ngokuzimela ungahamba ngetekisi kuphela endaweni yokuqala kwamaqembu okuvakasha. Ungakhohlwa ukuxoxa nomshayeli wetekisi ukulinda uze ubone ubuhle bese uthatha izithombe.
