Izaqhwithi, ukongeza kwindalo emangalisayo yemozulu, zisenokuba yingozi kakhulu ukuba awukwazi ukufikelela kwindawo ekhuselekileyo ukuzikhusela kumbane, yinto eyenzekileyo eNorway. Apho, umgcini weHardangervidda National Park wazifumana 323 reindeer ifile. Kwaye hayi, ayiyonyani yesayensi, nangona isenokuvakala ngathi.
Kuyabonakala ukuba, njengoko watshoyo, sisihlandlo sokuqala ukuba isaqhwithi sibulale izilwanyana ezininzi, ngenxa yoko akayazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba kutheni yenzekile okanye kanjani.
Abanye bazokucinga ukuba ibingumsebenzi weenguqu ezenzekayo kwimozulu, kodwa inyani kukuba iyimfihlakalo engasonjululwanga. Nangona kunjalo, iinyamakazi ezazisepakini ngokuqinisekileyo zazingenalo ixesha lokukhangela umhadi okanye indawo yokuhlala, kodwa ngoba? Imitha yenziwa njani kwaye ngesantya esingakanani bafika emhlabeni?
Imitha iveliswa phakathi kwamafu kunye nomphezulu womhlaba, okanye phakathi kwamafu amabini, ngenxa yokunxibelelana phakathi kwamasuntswana alungileyo nangalunganga, awenzeka ngaphezulu kweemitha ezingama-5000 ukuphakama. Apho isichotho amasuntswana angqubana namakristali omkhenkce kwaye, ngokwenza njalo, amasuntswana afumana intlawulo elungileyo kunye neekristali intlawulo embi. Yiyo loo nto, iikristali zomkhenkce, zikhaphukhaphu ngaphezu kwesichotho, zirhuqelwa encotsheni yamafu athe nkqo, iCumulonimbus. Ngele ndlela, kubude obuphakathi kwe-8 ne-10km kukho intlawulo elungileyo, kwaye malunga ne-5km engalunganga, ngaloo ndlela uvelisa ukukhutshwa kombane. Kwaye kuthatha kuphela iqhezu lomzuzwana ukubetha umhlaba (okanye ulwandle)!
Kodwa kusenzima ukwazi ukuba umbane ubulele njani iinyamakazi ezingaphezu kwama-300, nangona abanye bezamile ukunika inkcazo, njengoJohn Jensenius we-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Institute yase-United States, owathi kungenzeka imibane yawa phezu kwesilwanyana kwaye, njengokuba babeseqeleni, umsinga owenzeka emhlabeni ubabulele bonke. Nokuba kunjalo, ngokukaKjartan Knutsen, igosa elisuka kwi-Arhente yezeNdalo yaseNorway, NgoLwesihlanu, nge-26 ka-Agasti 2016, bekukho izivunguvungu ezinkulu kule ndawo, kodwa bebengazange bayibone into enje ngaphambili.
Qaphela: Ukuze ungalimazi uvakalelo lomfundi, kukhethwe ukuba ungayibeki imifanekiso yezidumbu ze-reindeer. Kwimeko apho bafuna ukubonana, inokwenziwa cofa apha.
