Phakathi kwezindawo eziningi ezithakazelisayo emhlabeni, i-Alaska ivelele ngokuhluka kwayo, ingxenye yayo etholakala ngaphesheya kwe-Arctic Circle futhi enezimo ezinzima zempilo nokuhlala okulula kulesi sifunda. Isikhathi eside, izakhamizi ezinkulu zaleli zwe lasendle kwakuyizizwe zasendaweni, kanye nezilwane zasendle eziningi.
IMount McKinley - uphawu lwe-Alaska ne-United States
Le ntaba itholakala ngenhla kwe-Arctic Circle futhi iyindawo ephakeme kunazo zonke ezwekazini, kepha empeleni akekho owaziyo ngalokhu isikhathi eside, ngoba bekungabukwa kuphela izakhamizi zendawo ezivela esizweni sase-Athabaskan, ezazizinze ngokwesiko. Olimini lwesigodi, wathola igama elithi Denali, elisho ukuthi "Omkhulu".
Ake sinqume ukuthi iyiphi i-Alaska yezwe. Ukubhekisisa umhlaba noma ibalazwe lomhlaba kusikisela ukuthi le yiNyakatho Melika, iningi layo elihlala i-United States of America. Namuhla ingenye yezifundazwe zalo mbuso. Kepha bekungahlale kunjalo. Lo mhlaba ekuqaleni wawungowaseRussia, kanti izifiki zokuqala zaseRussia zabiza le ntaba enamakhanda amabili - uBolshaya Gora. Kukhona iqhwa phezulu, elibonakala kahle esithombeni.
Owokuqala ukubeka iNtaba iMcKinley ebalazweni lendawo kwakungumbusi omkhulu wezindawo zokuhlala zaseRussia eMelika, owayephethe lesi sikhundla kusukela ngo-1830 iminyaka emihlanu, uFerdinand Wrangel, owayengusosayensi nodume kakhulu wetilosi. Namuhla izixhumanisi zokuhlala zalesi siqongo zaziwa kahle. I-latitude nobude bayo yilezi: 63o 07 'N, 151o 01 'W.
Ekupheleni kwekhulu le-19, kwatholakala e-Alaska, eyayivele iyinsimu yase-United States, umuntu oyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, yaqanjwa ngoMongameli wezwe wamashumi amabili nanhlanu - uMcKinley. Kodwa-ke, igama langaphambili elithi Denali alizange lisetshenziswe futhi liyasetshenziswa namuhla kanye nalelo elamukelwa ngokujwayelekile. Lesi siqongo sibizwa nangokuthi iNtaba kaMongameli.
Umbuzo wokuthi ingqungquthela enamakhanda amabili ikuphi ungaphendulwa ngokuphepha - enyakatho. Uhlelo lwezintaba ezibandayo lunwebeka ogwini loLwandle i-Arctic amakhilomitha amaningi. Kepha indawo ephakeme kakhulu yiNtaba iDenali. Ukuphakama kwayo ngokuphelele ngamamitha ayi-6194, futhi kuphakeme kakhulu eNyakatho Melika.
Uthando lwezintaba
IMount McKinley sekuyisikhathi eside iheha abantu abaningi abathanda ukuvakasha ezintabeni nabathanda izintaba. Umqansa wokuqala owaziwayo wenziwa emuva ngonyaka we-1913 ngumpristi uHudson Stack. Umzamo olandelayo wokunqoba inani eliphakeme wenziwa ngo-1932 futhi waphela ngokufa kwamalungu amabili ohambo.
Ngeshwa, baveze uhlu olude lwezisulu ezaba ngabathumbi bokukhuphuka ngokweqile. Kulezi zinsuku, izinkulungwane zabagibeli bafuna ukuzama isandla sabo ukunqoba le ntaba enzima kakhulu. Kukhona abagibeli abaningi baseRussia phakathi kwabo.
Ubunzima buqala kakade esigabeni sokulungiselela, ngoba cishe akunakwenzeka ukuletha ukudla nemishini e-Alaska ngokugcwele. Iningi labaqoshayo liqashwa ngqo e-Anchorage futhi liletha imishini nabahlanganyeli enkanjini yezindiza ngamabhanoyi.
Sikukwazisa ukuthi ufunde ngeMount Everest.
Ngesikhathi sokuthuthukiswa, sekubekwe inani elanele lemizila yobunzima obuhlukahlukene. Abavakashi abaningi bezintaba bakhuphuka ngendlela elula yakudala - indawo esentshonalanga. Kulokhu, umuntu kufanele anqobe inguzunga yeqhwa evaliwe, lapho kungekho khona imifantu eyingozi.
Ukwehla kwezinye izingxenye kufinyelela kumadigri angamashumi amane nanhlanu, kepha ngokujwayelekile, umzila ugijima futhi uphephile. Isikhathi esihle sokunqoba le ngqungquthela sisukela ngoMeyi kuya kuJulayi phakathi nehlobo elisempumalanga. Esinye isikhathi isimo sezulu emizileni asizinzile futhi sinzima. Noma kunjalo, inani lalabo abafisa ukunqoba iNtaba iMcKinley alinciphi, futhi kwabaningi lokhu kunyuka kuyisandulela sokunqoba iziqongo eziphakeme zomhlaba.
Isifundo esibucayi engcupheni yokudlala nemvelo yindaba yomqansa waseJapan uNaomi Uemura. Ngesikhathi somsebenzi wakhe wokuba ngumqobi wezintaba, yena, ngokuzimela noma njengengxenye yeqembu, wakhuphuka iziqongo eziningi zomhlaba. Wenza umzamo wokuzimela afinyelele eNyakatho Pole, futhi wayelungiselela nokunqoba isiqongo esiphakeme kunazo zonke se-Antarctica. IMount McKinley bekufanele ibe yi-Workout ngaphambi kokuya e-Antarctica.
UNaomi Uemura wenza umqansa onzima kakhulu wasebusika esiqongweni futhi wafinyelela kuwo, etshala ifulegi laseJapan kuyo ngoFebhuwari 12, 1984. Kodwa-ke, ngesikhathi esehla, wangena ezimweni zezulu ezingezinhle futhi ukuxhumana naye kwaphazamiseka. Uhambo lokutakula aluzange lusithole isidumbu sakhe, okungenzeka ukuthi sakhukhulwa yiqhwa noma sabanjwa komunye wemifantu yeqhwa ejulile.
