Rhoqo ngonyaka, isiqithi esincinci saseSt Helena kuLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki eseMazantsi siba yindawo yochulumanco njengoko abantu balapha kunye nabahambi abaphefumlelwe yiBlue Planet belungiselela elinye lawona mava amangalisayo ezilwanyana zasendle - ukufika ngonyaka kookrebe, eyona ntlanzi inkulu ehlabathini. .
Ezi zidalwa zimangalisayo zitsalwa kwesi siqithi ngexesha leenyanga zasehlotyeni, ngakumbi ngoJanuwari nangoFebruwari, ukuze zitye iplankton kunye neentlanzi ezincinci ngemilomo yazo evulekileyo. Ngaphandle kokufikelela kubude obuziimitha ezingama-40 (12m) nangaphezulu, ookrebe bazizidalwa ezithambileyo kwaye iSt Helena yenye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo emhlabeni zokuqubha ecaleni kwabo ukuze bajonge indlela abaziphethe ngayo- amava amangalisayo ongawaphoswa.
Iingcali kunye nabahambi ngokufanayo batsalwa kwesi siqithi ngeli thuba likhethekileyo, kwaye iSt Helena ithatha uxanduva lwayo malunga nezi zidalwa ngokubaluleke kakhulu. Ukudibana kokrebe kulawulwa ngokungqongqo kwisiqithi kwaye kubonelelwa kuphela ngabakhenkethi baselwandle abavunyiweyo basekhaya.
Amanzi ajikeleze iSt Helena atyunjwe njengoMmandla oKhuselweyo eLwandle kwaye isiqithi ngokungathandabuzekiyo sesona sikhululo somhlaba sokusingwa sokufumanisa imimangaliso yolwandle. Iindidi kunye ne-snorkellers banokuqubha kunye nookrebe be-whale, baphonononge iingozi zembali kwaye bamangaliswe ziintlobo ezininzi eziphantsi kolwandle, ngelixa abo bakhetha ukugcina iintloko zabo phezu kwamanzi basenokufumana inkitha yeentlobo zeentlobo, kunye nokubonwa rhoqo kweepod ezinkulu zamahlengesi phakathi kwezilwanyana. amagqabantshintshi kubatyeleli.
U-Helena Bennett, uMlawuli wezoKhenketho e-St Helena, uthe: "I-St Helena inethamsanqa ukuba namava amangalisayo ezilwanyana zaselwandle unyaka wonke, kodwa ukufika kookrebe bokuqala be-whale kuhlala kungumzuzu olindelwe kakhulu kwisiqithi. Ithuba lokuzibonela ngokwalo ezi zidalwa ngamava akhethekileyo kwaye sijonge phambili ekwamkeleni iindwendwe ezitsalwa leli thuba.”
Ookrebe bokuqala bomnenga bafika eSt Helena ukusuka ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba ukuya kuDisemba, kwaye bahlala kude kube ngu-Epreli, benyuka ngoJanuwari nangoFebruwari. Iinqwelomoya eziya ngqo eSt Helena ngexesha lasehlotyeni zisebenza ngeMigqibelo nangoLwesibini ukusuka eRhawutini eMzantsi Afrika.
