El intaba K2 Ingenye yalezo ezinedumela lokuba ngomunye wezindawo eziphakeme kakhulu futhi eziyingozi kakhulu ukukhuphuka. Futhi ukuthi iyintaba yesibili ephakeme kunazo zonke emhlabeni futhi ingenye yezingozi kakhulu. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi umuntu oyedwa kwabane ozama ukufinyelela phezulu ulahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe. Ukuqanjwa ngegama lentaba yasendle njengoba kuyisibalo sesibili esiphakeme kakhulu sokufa ngemuva kuka-Annapurna. Ngenxa yobungozi enabo, ayikaze ikhuphuke ebusika.
Kule ndatshana sizokutshela zonke izici, i-geography, i-geology, izitshalo nezilwane zeNtaba iK2.
Izici eziyinhloko
Abanye bayazi le ntaba ngokuthi iGodwin-Austen kanye neChogori noma iKetu, kuya ngesifunda. Njengoba inenkomba ephezulu yengozi kubantu abaningi balahlekelwa yimiphefumulo yabo lapho bezama ukuyikhuphuka, akukhuphuka njalo ebusika. Igama lale ntaba ekuqaleni laqokwa okwesikhashana ngumhloli wamazwe uGeorge Montgomerie ngo-1852. Ngalesi sikhathi kwakukhona iGreat Trigonometric Topography Project. Zonke izintaba zeKarakorum zazizobizwa ngamagama endawo, kepha ezinye ziyaziwa. Amanye amagama anikezwe madala kakhulu futhi avuselelwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Kuyintaba esenyakatho-ntshonalanga yezintaba zeKarakoram futhi iyingxenye yezintaba ezinkulu ezakha uhla lwezintaba ze-himalayan. Ngaphakathi kweqembu lamaHimalaya amakhulu kukhona nentaba Everest. I-K2 imingcele yeChina nePakistan. Ingenye yamaphuzu aphakeme kakhulu ebangeni lezintaba elinomqansa futhi elingunxantathu. Ukusizakala kwayo akujwayelekile, okwenza ukukhuphuka kube nzima noma ngabe kunolwazi oluhle kulowo okhuphukayo.
Sithola cishe ukuphakama okuphezulu kwamamitha ayi-8611 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Uhlangothi olusenyakatho lunamandla kakhulu kunengxenye eseningizimu. Kodwa-ke, uma sihlaziya sonke isimo sendawo ngokujwayelekile, siyabona ukuthi indawo yayo inamachashaza ebusweni bayo futhi ayibonakali emadolobheni ahlukahlukene. Ingqungquthela yayo nengxenye yemithambeka embozwe izinguzunga zeqhwa ezinkulu unyaka wonke. Lezi zinguzunga zeqhwa zinoqweqwe olujiyile oluqongelele eminyakeni edlule. Ngokwengxenye yayo, ezinye izigodi zeqhwa zingabonakala ezansi.
Izimo zemvelo ezikhona eduze kwentaba zinzima impela, ikakhulukazi engxenyeni engenhla. Ngenxa yezimo zezulu engxenyeni engenhla yentaba, kunengozi enkulu eqhubekayo yama-avalanches. Kodwa-ke, isimo sezulu ku-K2 kaningi asinakulindeleka, ngakho-ke ingozi yengozi ingakhuphuka noma yehle njengoba ukhuphuka. Imvamisa, le ngozi iyanda njengoba sikhuphuka intaba ephakeme.
I-towards isiseduze kakhulu nentaba futhi ukusuka lapho unombono omuhle kakhulu wazo zonke izintaba ezizungezile. Ukuphela kwendlela engenzeka yokungena kulezi zindawo ngesigodi saseBaltoro.
Ukwakheka kwe-K2
Sizobona ukuthi yiziphi izintaba eyakhiwe ngazo le ntaba. Uhla lwezintaba zeKarakoram luyisaladi onqenqemeni lwepuleti lase-Eurasia. Lokhu kunqenqemeni kungumngcele wepuleti lapho kungqubuzana khona amapuleti amabili we-tectonic. Ngakho-ke, siyazi ukuthi umsuka nokwakheka kwe-K2 kwaba umphumela wokushayisana phakathi kwamapuleti amabili we-tectonic: amapuleti e-Indica nase-Eurasia. Ukubukeka kwale ntaba nezwekazi kwaqala ukuhambela enyakatho eminyakeni engaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-40 edlule. Lokhu kuhamba kwezwekazi kuveze ukusondela kwamacwecwe ama-tectonic nokushayisana kwawo.
Le ntaba yakhiwe kakhulu ngamatshe we-metamorphic. Ukukhiqizwa kwesibalo esikhulu se-magma endaweni engaphansi kwe-subduction kucatshangwa ukuthi kukhulisa wonke lawa madwala asezintabeni asendulo. Onke la matshe e-metamorphic aqala ukukala iMount K2 ngezikhathi ngemuva kwe Miocene.
Izimbali nezilwane ze-K2
Uma singabhekiseli ezimhlotsheni nasezilwaneni ezihlala kule ntaba, kufanele sazi ukuthi isimo sezulu, ukuphakama nobunzima bokukwazi ukukhuphuka yonke imithambeka kuyivimbela ekubeni yintaba lapho izinto eziphilayo zanda kahle khona. Kunezinhlobo ezimbalwa kuphela zezilwane ezivumelaniswa nalezi zimo ezimbi kakhulu futhi angaphila emithambekeni nasemithambekeni.
Ezinye zezinyoni zizivumelanise kakhulu nalezi zimo ezimbi zemvelo kuphela ezingandiza kwenye yendawo. Ngokuqondene nezitshalo, kusinda kuphela ubulembu, ubulembu nezinye izitshalo eziphansi ezikhula phakathi naphakathi kwamatshe. Ukuphakama lapho ikhula khona kuyabukeka kodwa akufiki endaweni ephakeme kakhulu. Izimbali azikho nhlobo uma sesifinyelele ezindaweni eziseduze nale ngqungquthela nasengqungqutheleni uqobo.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, izinto eziphilayo zikhulisa ukuzivumelanisa okuthile ukuze ziphile ezimweni ezimbi. Kodwa-ke, kuyeza isikhathi lapho kungekho izakhi zomzimba eziyisisekelo ezanele ezivela kubakhiqizi bami abaphambili ukusiza ukwakha umphakathi wezinto eziphilayo. Ukuphakama lapho iNtaba K2 ifinyelela khona alukho uhlobo lokushintshana kwezinto noma amandla phakathi kwezidalwa eziphilayo ezahlukahlukene. Sithola kuphela izinsalela zezinguzunga zeqhwa namatshe aphakeme, ngakho-ke singasho ukuthi imvelo ye-abiotic idlangile.
Ukukhuphuka
Le ntaba inemizila eminingi yokwenyuka. Imizila yokukhuphuka kwabagibeli abasemthethweni eseyithandwa kakhulu yi-Abruzzo neMagic Line. Owokuqala usetshenziselwa ukwenyuka kokwesibili, mhlawumbe, umzila onzima kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi intaba emhlabeni. Kulabo abafuna ukwazi, kunzima kakhulu ukukhuphuka kuneMount Everest.
Ukuthola umbono, kuze kufike ku-2004, abagibeli abangu-2.238 2 babekhuphuke e-Everest ngenkathi bangu-246 kuphela abagibela i-KXNUMX. Emzileni weMagic Line, ngalowo nyaka, umqobi wesine nowokugcina waklonyeliswa.
Ngiyethemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi ngeNtaba iK2 nezimpawu zayo.
