I-National Forestry Corporation yase-Chile ivimbele ukuhamba izintaba kungazelelwe kwa-Exploradores.
eChile I-National Forestry Corporation inqume ukuvala unomphela abaqwali bezintaba abavela ku-Exploradores glacier edumile ePatagonia ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngokuphepha nokuncibilika ngokushesha.
Lesi sinqumo sidale ukungqubuzana phakathi kwabavakashi kanye nabaqondisi bendawo, njengoba sibangele inkulumo-mpikiswano mayelana nezingozi zokukhuphuka eqhweni esimweni sezulu esishintshayo. Izazi ze-hydration zikahulumeni zenza ucwaningo lwamasonto amabili futhi zathola ukuthi iqhwa lisondela “endaweni eguquguqukayo” engazinzi ngendlela eyingozi.
I-National Forestry Corporation yase-Chile ikuvimbele unomphela ukuqwala iqhwa ku-Exploradores Glacier e-Patagonia ngenxa yezingozi ezisobala nokungaqiniseki mayelana nokuziphatha kweqhwa nokukhathazeka kokuphepha kwemisebenzi ye-ecotourism. Lesi sinqumo sibonisa inkambiso yomhlaba wonke, njengoba abaqwala iqhwa emhlabeni wonke bebhekene nezinselele ezivela emiphumeleni yamazinga okushisa afudumele emizileni ejwayelekile. Ngokwesibonelo, ingxenye enkulu Iqhwa lase-Italy iMarmolada yabhidlika, okwaholela ekufeni kwabantu, futhi izikhungo kwadingeka ukuba zikhansele izintaba zaseMont Blanc ngenxa yokuncibilika kweqhwa okubangele ukwanda kwamadwala phakathi nehlobo elifanayo.
Abaqondisi bendawo bamangazwe ukuvalwa okungazelelwe ngobusuku kwe-Exploradores Glacier.
Ukuvalwa kweqhwa le-Explorer kulandela umcimbi obalulekile wokuzala kweqhwa endaweni eyiqhwa enkulu. Nakuba bengekho abaqwali abalimalayo, abaqondisi bendawo bakubheka njengengxenye evamile ye-dynamics yeqhwa.
Nokho, ucwaningo lukahulumeni lubonisa ukuthi ukuhlukana okunjalo kuzovame kakhulu. Izithombe ze-drone kusukela ngo-2020 zikhombisa ukwehla kweqhwa ngamamitha angu-1.5 (0.5m) ngonyaka, nokuphindwe kabili kwamachweba ancibilikayo ebusweni bawo. Ukuthintana okwengeziwe namanzi kusheshisa inqubo yokuncibilika kweqhwa.
Ngokombiko, inhlanganisela yokuncipha kwezinguzunga zeqhwa kanye nenani elandayo lamachweba aneqhwa liphusha i-Exploradores glacier emiphumeleni emibili engase ibe khona. Kungenzeka kube nesehlakalo esikhulu sokuzala kweqhwa, noma uquqaba lwamachweba amancane lungaholela ekubhidlikeni okungaphambili kweqhwa. Kunoma isiphi isimo, umbiko ulindele ukuhlehla okusheshayo kweqhwa le-Exploradores ngenxa yokuncibilika okusheshayo.
Nakuba umbiko noma isaziso sokuvalwa singakhulumi ngokusobala ngokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, lo mbiko uphawula ukuthi iqhwa lahlala lizinzile cishe iminyaka eyikhulu ngaphambi kokuba linciphe ngokushesha emashumini eminyaka amuva nje.
Iphethini yokuncipha ngokushesha kwezinguzunga zeqhwa ebonwe e-Exploradores glacier ihambisana nokuthambekela komhlaba wonke okuthinta izinguzunga zeqhwa emhlabeni wonke, okubangelwa ukukhuphuka kwezinga lokushisa olwandle okubangelwa ukukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa.
Ucwaningo lwakamuva luveze ukuthi izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zezinguzunga zeqhwa emhlabeni zizonyamalala ekupheleni kwekhulunyaka, okuholela ekukhuphukeni kwezinga lolwandle ngamayintshi angu-4.5 (11.4cm) futhi okungenzeka kususe abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-10 emhlabeni jikelele.
