Abavakashi abeza eziqhingini zaseCanary bavame ukuvakashela i-caldera ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kokubuka indawo, njengoba leli kuyithuba eliyingqayizivele lokuphakama lifike ebangeni eliphakeme lamamitha ayizinkulungwane eziningana ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, bancome umbono futhi bathathe izithombe ezihlukile.
Izici zendawo yezintaba-mlilo iTeide
Akuwona wonke umuntu owazi ukuthi isiqongo esiphakeme kunazo zonke se-Atlantic Ocean sikuphi, kepha eSpain bayaziqhenya ngokukhanga kwabo kwemvelo, okuzuze ilungelo lokufakwa kuhlu lwamagugu omhlaba we-UNESCO. I-stratovolcano yakha isiqhingi sonke, ngenxa yalokho kufanele ukuthi ingenye yezintaba-mlilo ezintathu ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Futhi yize ukuphakama kwayo ngaphezu kwezinga lolwandle kuphakeme kancane kunamamitha ayi-3700, inani eliphelele lifinyelela kumamitha ayi-7500.
Okwamanje, i-caldera ihlukaniswe njengentaba-mlilo elele, kusukela ukuqhuma kokugcina kwenzeka ngo-1909. Noma kunjalo, kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuyikhipha ohlwini lwamanje, ngoba ngisho nakulesi sigaba somjikelezo wempilo, ukuqhuma okuncane kusengenzeka.
I-El Teide (igama eligcwele) iyingxenye yeLas Cañadas caldera, futhi isiqhingi uqobo sakhiwa cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyi-8 ngokuhamba kwezihlangu zentaba-mlilo.

Intaba-mlilo iTeide yavela eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziyi-150 edlule; ukuqhuma kwayo okuqine kakhulu kwenzeka ngo-1706. Kwabe sekucekelwa phansi lonke idolobha nemizana eminingana.
Inothi labavakashi
ITenerife iyikhaya lamapaki okuqala esizwe eSpain, lapho intaba-mlilo enamandla enesiqongo seqhwa iphakama phakathi. Nguye onentshisekelo enkulu ngezizathu eziningana:
- Okokuqala, lapho ukhuphuka imoto yekhebula, ungabona hhayi kuphela indawo yesiqhingi, kodwa sonke isiqhingi.

Uma ufuna ukufika esicongweni, kuzofanele unakekele ukuthola iphasi elikhethekile kusengaphambili. Kodwa-ke, ingcindezi yasemkhathini kule ngqungquthela iphezulu, ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokunqoba lolu phawu kuzo zonke izivakashi zesiqhingi. Ngisho nokuphakama okungafinyeleleka kwamamitha angama-3555, ungabona bonke ubuhle obuvulekayo.
Epaki likazwelonke, kufanele unake ngokukhethekile izitshalo, ikakhulukazi uphayini weCanary. Zingaphezu kwama-30 izindawo zemifino zomhlaba ezimelwe lapha, kodwa izilwane ezinkulu azitholakali kuTeide. Phakathi kwabamele bomdabu bezilwane, amalulwane ayahlukaniswa, zonke ezinye izilwane zalethwa njengoba iTenerife yathuthukiswa.
Izinganekwane ze-Volcano
Futhi yize imininingwane itholakala kuwo wonke umuntu mayelana nokuthi intaba-mlilo yakhiwa kanjani futhi nini, abantu bendawo bakhetha ukubalisa izinganekwane ezimangalisayo ezihambisana namandla aphezulu aqapha iTenerife. AmaGuanches, izakhamizi zomdabu zalesi siqhingi, zikhomba iTeide ne-Olympus, ngoba, ngokombono wabo, izidalwa ezingcwele zihlala lapha.

Kuphela ngenxa unkulunkulu ophakeme Achaman wakwazi ukusindisa ukukhanya kwelanga, futhi uDeveli wayehlale ecashile ekujuleni kwentaba. Akasakwazi ukubhekana nobukhulu bamadwala, kepha ngezikhathi ezithile intukuthelo yakhe iyaphuma ngendlela yokugeleza ngamandla kwelava.
Lapho uvakashela i-stratovolcano, kufanele ukwazi kangcono isiko lamaGuanches, ukuthenga izithombe ezinhle kakhulu ezinezimpawu zobuzwe, izinto ezincane ezenziwe ngodaka lwentaba-mlilo, kanye nokuzama iziphuzo zendawo nezitsha noma ukulalela izingoma zomculo. Isikhathi esichithwa kulesi siqhingi sibonakala sihamba kancane, ngoba amandla kaTeide nokukhulekelwa okuqotho kwentaba kuzwakala yonke indawo.
