Umthombo kaJakobe uyisimangaliso esaziwayo semvelo, kepha ugcwele izingozi eziningi. Idamu leli lingumhume omncane ngamashumi amamitha ukujula. Amanzi akuyo acace kangangoba kubonakala sengathi kwalasha uqobo lwawo uwavulile amasango awo ngaphansi kwezinyawo. Izivakashi ezivela emazweni ahlukene zilwela ukubona ukudalwa kwemvelo ngamehlo azo futhi zibeka engcupheni yokwenza ukungena ekujuleni okungaziwa.
Indawo yomthombo kaJakobe
Intwasahlobo yekarst itholakala eWimberley, eTexas, e-USA. ICypress Creek igelezela echibini, okuthi, ngaphezu kwamanzi angaphansi kwamanzi, liphakele umthombo ojulile. Ububanzi bayo abudluli kumamitha amane, ngakho-ke, lapho ubuka isimangaliso semvelo kusuka phezulu, ukukhohlisa kuvela ukuthi akunamkhawulo.
Eqinisweni, ubude bangempela bomhume buyimitha elingu-9.1, bese uya ekhoneni, ungena eziteshini eziningana. Ngamunye wabo uphakamisa omunye, yingakho ukujula kokugcina komthombo kudlula uphawu lwamamitha angama-35.
Ukulungiswa okuyingozi kwemihume
Sekukonke, kuyaziwa ngokuba khona kwemihume emine yomthombo kaJakobe, ngalinye linezici zalo. Abatshuzi abavela ezingxenyeni ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba bazama ukunqoba lawa mazulu, kepha hhayi wonke umuntu okwazi ukuphuma kulo mhubhe obumbene.
Umhume wokuqala uqala ekupheleni kokwehla okuqondile mpo cishe ngamamitha ayi-9 ukujula. Ibanzi futhi ikhanya kahle. Abavakashi abehlela lapha bangazincoma izinhlanzi ezintantayo nezilwelwe ezimboze izindonga, bathathe izithombe ezinhle zomhlaba ongaphansi kwamanzi.
Sikukwazisa ukuthi ufunde ngomthombo weThor.
Ukungena kwesiteshi sesibili kuncane kakhulu, ngakho-ke akubona bonke abantu abanesibindi sokunqoba le ndima. Ungangena kalula ngaphakathi, kepha ukuphuma kuyo kuzoba nzima kakhulu. Lokhu yikho okudale ukuthi kushone insizwa eyayihamba ngescuba uRichard Patton.
Umhume wesithathu ugcwele ubungozi bohlobo oluhlukile. Isango lokungena kulo lide kakhulu, ngaphakathi kwegatsha lesibili. Ukujula kwayo kungaphezu kwamamitha angama-25. Izindonga ezingenhla zokuvulwa ziqukethe amaminerali axegayo, okuthi, lapho kuthintwa okuncane, angawa futhi avimbe ukuphuma unomphela.
Ukufika emhumeni wesine, kufanele uhambe ngendlela enzima kakhulu, embozwe kuzo zonke izinhlangothi nge-limestone. Ngisho nokunyakaza okuncane kuphakamisa izinhlayiya ezimhlophe ebusweni bese kuvimbela ukubonakala. Akekho osekwazile ukuhamba ibanga elide futhi ahlole ukujula kwegatsha lokugcina lomthombo kaJacob, elanikezwa igama loMgede Wentombi.
Izinganekwane eziheha izivakashi
Kukholakala ukuthi ngokungena emthonjeni kanye bese uwushiya ungabheki emuva, ungazinikeza inhlanhla impilo yakho yonke. Kuyiqiniso, izivakashi eziningi zihehwa yimizwa kusuka kokunye ukugxumela kwalasha kangangokuba azinawo amandla anele okwenqaba owesibili.
Kukhona umbono wokuthi lo mthombo uwuphawu lwemvelaphi yempilo, ngoba lapha kuqoqwa amanzi amaningi amsulwa, okuyisisekelo sayo yonke into. Akusizi ngalutho ukuthi balinike igama lokuhlonipha usanta; abefundisi abaningi bakhuluma ngendawo emangalisayo ezintshumayelweni zabo. Abaculi, ababhali kanye nezivakashi ezejwayelekile beza e-Jacob's Well minyaka yonke ukuzojabulela ubuhle bendalo yemvelo.
