Pamene wofufuza wina wa ku America dzina lake Richard E. Byrd anakhala yekha m’khumbi lake ku Antarctica mu 1934, theka lake litazizira kwambiri ndipo theka linali ndi poizoni wa carbon monoxide, iye anali ndi vuto. Byrd analemba kuti iye ndi amuna ena ochitapo kanthu pofufuza mitengoyo anali kuika miyoyo yawo pachiswe popanda chifukwa chomveka. Byrd anapulumuka chiyesocho, koma kutsala pang’ono kufa kwake kunamufooketsa.
Mary Knaus akuti zomwe anakumana nazo atatsala pang'ono kufa zinamupangitsa kukhala wolimba mtima. Ndipo ndichifukwa chake wayima pa Antarctica lero.
“Mu 1999, anandipeza ndi khansa ya m’mawere ndipo ndinali ndi matenda amtundu woyamba amene ankafuna chithandizo chamankhwala chamankhwala amphamvu. Zinkawoneka ngati zikupitirizabe, ndipo ndinali ndi nthawi yochuluka yosinkhasinkha, "akutero Knaus. “Ndipo ndinaganiza … ndisintha momwe ndimachitira zinthu. Sindidzakana anthu akamandipempha kuti ndipite maulendo, ndikanati inde! Ndipo ndikuyesera kuwona dziko lapansi. "
Knaus amaphunzitsa psychology yachipatala ku yunivesite ya Houston. Ndi m'modzi mwa amuna opitilira 200 - ndi akazi - ochitapo kanthu omwe abwera ku Antarctica koyamba. Kaya epiphany yawo imabwera iwo asanabwere kapena atafika kuno, sizowoneka. Iwo amasandulika.
"Antarctica imandiyimira chochitika chapadera kwambiri, chifukwa tsiku langa lobadwa la 60 linali mwezi watha ndipo ino ndi kontinenti yanga yachisanu ndi chiwiri ndipo ndikumva ngati ndakwaniritsa cholinga changa," akutero Knaus akumwetulira.
Kwa apaulendo okhazikika, kufikira makontinenti onse asanu ndi awiri ndikupeza njira yabwino kwambiri. Kuyenda ku Antarctic sikuli kovutirapo monga kale, koma nakonso sikosalala. Monga anthu ena onse pano, Knaus adawulukira ku Tierra del Fuego kukakumana ndi sitima yapamadzi yaku Norway. Anayenda panyanja kwa maola oposa 40 kudutsa m’madera amene munali mavuto kwambiri padziko lonse. Ndipo tsopano, akugunda magombe amiyala a malo otchedwa Jugular Point, kumpoto kwenikweni kwa kontinenti yakumwera kwenikweni kwa dziko lapansi.
Amazon Yoyera Yoyera
Sitima yapamadzi ikutsatira njira ya filigreed kuzungulira zilumba zazing'ono zomwe zili m'mphepete mwa Peninsula. Kumene madzi oundana amalola, sitimayo imayima, tikuunjikana m'boti za injini n'kupita kumtunda. Pamene madzi oundana ali okhuthala kwambiri m’mphepete mwa nyanja, timaima pamwamba pa sitimayo n’kumasirira. Koma ndizosangalatsa kwambiri kupunthwa pamiyala yakuda ndi madzi oundana amtundu wa buluu ndikuwona tiana tating'ono tating'ono tomwe timatipatsa moni pamtunda: ma penguin.
M'mphepete mwa nyanja ya Antarctica muli mitundu yochepa ya mbalame ndi anamgumi ndi zisindikizo, koma penguin amalamulira mochuluka. Simufunikanso kuzifufuza - tsatirani mphuno yanu.
Michelle Globus, wochita bizinesi wa ku Princeton, New Jersey, akuseka kuti: “Mukangobweretsa botilo koyamba n’kuima, mumangomva fungo loipali lochokera ku poo la penguin.
Kupatula kununkhira, malowa ndi odabwitsa. North Pole ndi ayezi, koma Antarctica ndi dziko losowa kwambiri. Pa Mtsinje wa Lemaire, mapiri akuda okhala ndi chisanu amakwera pamwamba pa madzi oundana olemera ngati nkhonya za Zeus. Madzi oundana oyera amawonetsa mitsempha yamtundu wa topazi wabuluu. Ndipo kuwalako ndi kwamphamvu kwambiri kotero kuti chiwongolero chasiliva - mamailosi mazana ambiri - chimawoneka ngati mutha kutambasula dzanja lanu ndikulikhudza.
Koma pali malamulo a chinkhoswe ku Antarctica. Oyang'anira alendo akuti uyenera kusalankhula. Nyama zakuthengo za kontinentiyi zimadalira kudziletsa kwa anthu.
Ndi anthu onse akubwera ku kontinenti, wofufuza Steve Forrest akuti, ziyenera kukhudza chilengedwe cha Antarctica. Forrest, yemwe amagwira ntchito ku bungwe la Oceanities/WWF anati: “Masiku ena tikhoza kuona anthu 600 patsiku. Forrest wakhala akuyenda uku ndi uku pakati pa Bozeman, Montana, ndi Petermann Island chilimwe chilichonse kwa zaka 13 zapitazi. Akuti kuwonjezereka kwa zokopa alendo ku Antarctic kumagwirizana ndi kukwera kwa kutentha kwa madzi m'zaka khumi zapitazi, kotero sangakhoze kuseka ngati kutentha kwa madzi kapena zokopa alendo ndiko chifukwa, koma, akuti, ma penguin ena akufa.
Chaka chatha, sitima yapamadzi yonyamula magaloni masauzande amafuta zikuoneka kuti inagunda madzi oundana ndi kumira. Ndipo ngakhale ife, paparazzi ya penguin, sitingathe kudaliridwa. Ngakhale kuti sitima yathu inachenjezedwa mwamphamvu, munthu mmodzi kapena aŵiri m’sitima yathu analowetsa miyala m’matumba kuti apite nayo kwawo. Mulimonsemo, dzanja la munthu likusintha Antarctica.
“Antarctica kwa ine ili ngati … Amazon yoyera,” akutero Ary Perez, wojambula wa ku Sao Paolo, Brazil. Amakokedwa ku Antarctica kuti awone ungwiro wake wachilengedwe. “Ndi pafupifupi ife ndi … matalala ndi zisindikizo. Ndi mtundu wa paradaiso.”
Kugwidwa ndi Ice
Ndipo apa pali kupukuta. Malingaliro omwewo amachititsa kuti zikhale zovuta kuti anthu alole chuma chozizira ichi kukhala. Rick Atkinson ndi manejala pa Port Lockroy Station pafupi ndi Goudier Island. Anali ndi epiphany yake ku Antarctic, zomwe zinamupangitsa kuti athandize kukonzanso malo akale a ku Britain omwe tsopano ali ndi positi yokhayo pamtunda wa makilomita ambiri. Atkinson wawona alendo ambiri akukonda malowa. Iye akuti ndi mtundu wina wa masinthidwe.
"Kugwidwa ndi ayezi," akutero Atkinson. “Mawu okoma amenewo ndinawamva kwa woyendetsa ndege nthawi ina pamene wina anali kukwera m’ngalawamo. 'Samalani ndi ayezi!' - ndipo mnyamatayo anaganiza kuti akutanthauza kuti musagwere pa ayezi ... panjira ya zigawenga. Koma chimene ankatanthauza chinali chakuti madzi oundana akuzungulirani inu ku Antarctic adzakupezani. Ndipo ukakhala pano ndi kugundidwa ndi madzi oundana, umangofuna kuti uzibwereranso.”
Kwa anthu ambiri padziko lapansi, Antarctica idakali Brigadoon yachisanu, nthano zambiri kuposa zenizeni. Koma tsopano, nditaimirira pachilumba cha Goudier, palibe chomwe chikuwoneka chowona ngati ayezi wabuluu ndi zitosi za penguin zapinki ndi nthaka yakuda pansi pa nyengo yachisanu. Tsopano dziko lonse lapansi likuwoneka ngati nthano kuposa zenizeni. Bwanji kumanga mizinda pamene pali skylines chonchi? N'chifukwa chiyani mumalemba zisudzo pamene mumamva chipale chofewa chikugwera m'nyanja? Kodi nchifukwa ninji mukuda nkhaŵa ndi zinthu zazing’ono pamene pali zinthu zazikulu zoterozo zimene zingapezeke?
Umu ndi mmene maganizo amagwirira ntchito akagwidwa ndi ayezi.
