Ziqaphele ngendlela ehlukile yeColombia kwelinye lamapaki alo kazwelonke - uPuras. Kusukela emagqumeni bese kuphelelwa phansi ngaphansi kwamafu, namhlanje sekuyindawo ethanda ukuphumula phakathi kwabalandeli bokuvakasha okuluhlaza. Ngaphandle kwemifino eluhlaza, ipaki iyaphawuleka ku-volcano esebenzayo yegama elifanayo.
Uphi i-Purasa?
I-stratovolcano eyaziwayo, emithambekeni lapho umhlaba uhlala khona, itholakala esifundeni sase -Ande eCentral Cordillera. Akukude nale ndawo yidolobhana laseCopayan, elapho lapho iningi lalezi zihambeli eziya kulesi sifunda zenzeka khona.
Izici zePuras
Ipaki emithambekeni yentaba ithola isikhundla sayo esisemthethweni ngo-1961. Ngaphandle kwe-volcano yasePuraza, kunezinye izinkumbi ezincane ze-volcanic, futhi ibizwa ngokuthi "i-volcano ephethe izintaba eziyisikhombisa". Emithambekeni nasingaphakathi kwe-crater kunezinhlobo eziningi ze-fumaroles neziphefumula ezishisayo, futhi inkulumo ihlanganiswa neqhwa unyaka wonke.
Iphuzu eliphakeme kakhulu le-volcano yasePuraza lingama-4700 m. I-crater inebubanzi obungamamitha ama-500. Ukuqhuma okuphawulekayo kwenzeke ekhulwini lokugcina ngo-1977 no-1985. I-Puras ihola uhlu lwezintaba- mlilo ezisebenzayo kakhulu e-Colombia futhi hhayi esikhathini esidlule iveli le-alamu, elinikezwe izintaba-mlilo ezisebenzayo, ishintshiwe kusuka eluhlaza (ephephile) kuya ephuzi (ukubonisana). Lokhu kwenzeke ngenxa yokuthi esifundeni sezingqikithi ukushintsha okuncane kuqoshiwe.
Engxenyeni yepaki yemvelo kunezinhlanga ezincane ezihlela ukuvakasha ku-volcano futhi inikeza izivakashi indawo yokukhosela kanye nokudla ezindaweni eziphambili. Ipaki inqunywa imigwaqo yokuhamba ngezinyawo, ama-canyons ahle kakhulu namachibi amahle.
Ungayithola kanjani ku-Puras?
Kuzo zonke izivakashi izakhamuzi zasePapayana zizohlinzeka ngemephu enembile yomzila eya epaki kazwelonke yePuras. Ungafinyelela kuyo ngokuhlala kwenye yemizila yebhasi eya enyaweni yentshonalanga (isibonelo, iLa Plata) noma ukuqasha imoto nomshayeli. Ungakwenza lokhu kuzo zonke izinhlangano zokuhamba zomuzi, ngoba idolobha elincane elinjengePurase, ngokukhethekile ngobuningi bokuvakasha okuluhlaza epaki kazwelonke. Ngokuvamile, ukuvakasha kwe-volcano kuqhubeka cishe ngezinsuku ezimbili. Ngalesi sikhathi, izivakashi zijwayele ukujwayelana nazo zonke izingxenye zendawo enobumnandi - inhlanzi, cabanga nge-condors eduze, yima emaphethelweni ensimbi.
