Okwesihlandlo sesibini kwiminyaka emine, i-flotilla ye-icebergs, mhlawumbi i-100 okanye ngaphezulu, ithwala iNew Zealand.
Iintaba zomkhenkce zinokuba yingozi kwiinqanawa, kunjalo, kodwa zikwamela inzuzo kwezinye iinkampani zokhenketho.
NgoMvulo, inqanawa yabakhenkethi i-Spirit yase-Enderby yabona i-iceberg eqikelelwa ukuba yi-500 yeemitha ubude idada kuma-60 eemayile kumntla-mpuma weSiqithi saseMacquarie, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-500 kumazantsi e-New Zealand. Kwangoko kule nyanga, abaphandi baseOstreliya babone iqela leentaba zomkhenkce ezingama-20 ezikhukuliseka ngaphaya kwesiqithi.
Imisinga yolwandle ithwala iintaba zomkhenkce zisingise eNew Zealand ukusuka eAntarctica, apho zavela khona. Ukuba ukufudumala kwehlabathi kubangele le nto okanye akunjalo ngumcimbi wengxoxo. Kwelinye icala, umkhenkce ubuqhekeza ishelufu yomkhenkce yase-Antarctica ngesantya esandayo kwiminyaka yakutshanje njengoko amaqondo obushushu ehlabathi aye enyuka. Kwelinye icala, iintaba zomkhenkce azinyibiliki ngokukhawuleza kulo nyaka ngenxa yokubanda okungaqhelekanga kummandla waseNew Zealand, apho ngoku sekusemva kwentwasahlobo.
Ngowama-2006, inyambalala yeentaba zomkhenkce zasondela kakhulu eNew Zealand kangangokuba zaqala ukubonakala elunxwemeni kwiminyaka engama-75. Iihelikopta zazithwala abakhenkethi besuka kwezo ziqithi bekhenketha besiya kwiintaba zomkhenkce, ezinye zazo ezazihlala ngoonombombiya.
Kubiza malini ukubhabha ukuya eNew Zealand usuka eChicago kwaye uchithe iveki ukonwabela imozulu yasentwasahlobo kwaye unokukhwela inqwelomoya ukuya kwi-iceberg? Umzobo ubuncinci be-$3,000 ngomntu ngamnye. Cwangcisa ukuchitha ubuncinane iiyure ezili-19 kuhambo lokuya nokubuya. Iinqwelomoya eziya nokubuya eChicago ziqhagamshela kwiindawo ezinjengeLos Angeles, Honolulu, Phoenix, San Francisco, naseJapan. I-Qantas kunye ne-Air New Zealand zezona zikhethwayo ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwe-Auckland, eNew Zealand.
IAuckland, ngendlela, ikwiSiqithi esiseMantla saseNew Zealand. Ukuba ufuna ithuba lokubona ii-icebergs ukusuka elunxwemeni (ukhumbula ukuba akukho siqinisekiso sokuba oku kuyakwenzeka ngeli xesha), kuya kufuneka ukuba ufike kwiSiqithi saseMzantsi, okuthetha ukongeza inqwelomoya okanye isikhephe. uhambo oluya eChristchurch.
Sekunjalo, ukuba ixesha nemali aziyongxaki kuwe, kusenokuba mnandi kakhulu!
