Oyang'anira a Obama akufuna kuti pakhale malire komanso kutsata mosamalitsa zokopa alendo ku Antarctic

Kuyitanitsa kwa olamulira a Obama kuti pakhale malire ndikukhazikitsa mwamphamvu zokopa alendo ku Antarctic kumathandizidwa kwambiri ndi Lindblad Expeditions (LEX), kampani yoyambirira yoyendera anthu yomwe yakhala ikuyang'ana madera akutali kwambiri padziko lapansi kuyambira 1958. Mgwirizano wa Antarctic, womwe unasainidwa patatha chaka chimodzi Lindblad atakhazikitsidwa, Mlembi wa boma a Hillary Clinton adapempha mamembala a dzikolo kuti akhazikitse malire okhwima pa zokopa alendo ku Antarctic ndikukhazikitsa ndondomeko zodzifunira zomwe mamembala onse a International Association of Antarctic Tour Operations (IAATO) tsatirani pano.

Atachita upainiya ulendo woyamba wa anthu wamba wopita ku Antarctica mu 1966, Lindblad Travel (kampani ya makolo ya Lindblad Expeditions) yakhala ndi zaka makumi ambiri kuti imvetsetse kuwopsa komwe kumachitika m'malo ovuta chonchi ndipo amakhulupirira kuti kuwongolera kwakukulu kwa onse ogwira ntchito m'derali ndikofunikira. Mtsogoleri wamkulu wa kampani Sven Lindblad anati: "Ndinakhala nyengo ya 1973/1974 ku Antarctica ndikugwira ntchito ndi abambo anga pa Lindblad Explorer, sitima yoyamba yoyendera anthu yomwe inamangidwapo, ndipo zinali zosangalatsa, kutsimikiza, koma osati popanda ngozi. Tinakanthidwa kawiri ndi mphepo yamkuntho yoopsa kwambiri ndipo popanda chenjezo kuti ndidakali chodabwitsa kwa ine kuti palibe ngozi yoopsa yomwe inachitika.

"Komabe, lero, maulendo athu ndi otetezeka kwambiri kuposa momwe analili m'ma 1970, popeza tili ndi ntchito zabwino zolosera za nyengo ndi madzi oundana, njira zolankhulirana zadzidzidzi, komanso teknoloji yatsopano yomwe imatilola kuyendetsa zombo zathu motetezeka. Koma mwachiwonekere, kusiyana kofunikira kwambiri ndi kuchuluka kwa zomwe takumana nazo tsopano, ndipo akapitawo athu ndi atsogoleri aulendo ndi - mosakayikira - odziwa zambiri komanso odziwa zambiri pamakampani, ambiri aiwo ali ndi maulendo opitilira 100 mu ayezi wa Antarctica. "

Zambiri mwa malangizo omwe oyang'anira akuyitanitsa amatsatiridwa kale mwaufulu ndi mamembala a IAATO, omwe Lindblad Expeditions ndi membala wanthawi yayitali. Mamembala a IAATO amaletsa kale kutera kwa anthu osapitilira 100 nthawi imodzi, amakhala ndi kalozera kamodzi kwa alendo 20 aliwonse (ngakhale LEX imagwira ntchito ndi chiŵerengero cha 15: 1), ndipo samalola zombo zokhala ndi anthu opitilira 500 kupita kumtunda. .

LEX ndiye membala yekhayo wa IAATO, komabe, yemwe wayitanitsa ziletso zokulirapo, ndikulimbikitsa kuti zombo zazikulu zopitilira 500 zisaloledwe ngakhale kulowa m'madzi a Antarctica chifukwa cha "mayendedwe apanyanja". Kampaniyo ikukhulupirira kuti kuwopsa kwa ogwiritsa ntchito atsopano omwe ali ndi antchito osadziwa zambiri m'dera lodzaza madzi oundana komanso losadziwika bwino kungayambitse kuwonongeka kwachilengedwe kwa anthu komanso chilengedwe, makamaka pakumanga kofooka kwa zombo zazikulu, zopanda madzi oundana. kuyendetsa ma scenic cruise-bys.

Pazaka zake zogwira ntchito ku Antarctica, Lindblad Expeditions yakhala ikuyang'anira maupangiri ambiri omwe adakhazikitsidwa kale. Wachiwiri wake wachiwiri wa ntchito zapamadzi komanso mbuye wa National Geographic Explorer, Captain Leif Skog, anali mtsogoleri wa komiti yam'madzi kwa zaka khumi ndipo adapanga njira zotetezera ndi zoopsa za zombo za IAATO. Malamulo okhudza khalidwe la alendo ndi kuteteza nyama zakutchire adalembedwa ndi mtsogoleri wamkulu wa LEX Tom Ritchie, ndipo lero ndondomekozi zimatchedwa "Lindblad Model" ndipo zimakhala maziko a zomwe makampani onse amasankha kutsatira. Pambuyo pake, mtsogoleri waulendo wa Lindblad a Matt Drennan adayambitsa ndikulemba malangizo ambiri okhudzana ndi malowa, ndipo malangizo ena okhudzana ndi malowa adalembedwa pambuyo pake ndi mtsogoleri waulendo Tim Soper.

Njira zina zomwe LEX imagwiritsa ntchito kuwonetsetsa kuyenda kotetezeka komwe ma chart ovomerezeka nthawi zambiri amakhala osadalirika kapena osawunikiridwa kwathunthu ndikugwiritsa ntchito deta yakeyake ndi mawu ake kupanga ma chart ake ndi njira zake zotetezeka. Deta iyi imagawidwa ndi British Hydrographic Agency, ndipo ndi zaka makumi anayi za deta, si zachilendo kuti akuluakulu awo azikhala ndi deta zambiri pansi pa nyanja kuposa mabungwe a boma a hydrographic.

Kuphatikiza apo, LEX yavalanso sitima yake yatsopano yolimbitsa madzi oundana, National Geographic Explorer, ndiukadaulo waposachedwa kwambiri. Ngakhale kuti sitima iliyonse yamalonda imagwira ntchito ndi echo-sounder yomwe imayesa kuya kwa madzi mwachindunji pansi pa sitimayo, National Geographic Explorer ndi imodzi mwa zombo zochepa zomwe zimakhala ndi SONAR. Chipangizochi chimathandiza woyendetsa sitimayo ndi akuluakulu ake kuti azitha kuyang'ana pansi panyanja patsogolo pa ngalawayo, kufunafuna chopinga chilichonse chomwe sichikudziwika. Kuwonjezera apo, pomanganso makina otchedwa National Geographic Explorer, chombo cha ngalawacho chinamangidwa ndi “ice belt,” kapena kuti chitsulo chokhuthala kwambiri kuti chitetezeke ku madzi oundana, ndipo anawonjezera mafelemu ndi zitsulo zina kuti chombocho chilimbe. Kumanganso kunali kokulirapo kotero kuti nyumbayo tsopano idavotera kalasi ya DNV ICE-1A, yomwe idalimbikitsidwa kwambiri ndikufanana ndi Super ICE-1A.

Lindblad Expeditions yathandiziranso sayansi ya Antarctica pothandizira bungwe lopanda phindu la Oceanites, lomwe likuchita kafukufuku wokhawo omwe si a boma ku Antarctica. Asayansi awiri a ku Oceanite amayenda paulendo uliwonse wa Lindblad Expeditions ku Antarctica, ndipo pulezidenti wa Oceanites Ron Naveen anati: “Oceanites ali patsogolo pa sayansi ya ku Antarctica pankhani yowunika, kusintha kwa kutentha kwa dziko, komanso kusintha kwa ma penguin. Takwanitsa kulimbikira pantchito yathu chifukwa cha zabwino za Lindblad Expeditions, kampani yokhayo yomwe imanyamula asayansi ogwira ntchito - komanso ntchito yasayansi yomwe ikupitilirabe - pamaulendo ake onse ku Antarctic. "

Pamapeto pake, Sven Lindblad adati: "Ndi kukula kwakukulu kwa zokopa alendo ku Antarctica, komanso kuchuluka kwa ngozi komweko, Lindblad Expeditions akukhulupirira kuti ndikofunikira kuti bizinesi yonse, osati gawo chabe, lizigwira ntchito bwino kwambiri, okhala ndi zombo zokhala ndi zida, zomangidwa bwino komanso odziwa bwino, odziwa bwino ntchito. Ndili ndi chidaliro mu kuthekera kwathu ndi zomwe takumana nazo poyesa malire ndikupatsa alendo athu ulendo wosangalatsa powatengera ku Antarctica komanso kuti abwerere bwino. Ndizomveka kuti aliyense wogwira ntchito kumeneko akhale ndi chidaliro chimodzimodzi, ndipo tikukhulupirira kuti malangizowa akhazikitsidwa. ”
