Kwintshona yelizwe laseTanzania laseAfrika, emngceleni neKenya, kukho ikhefu elikhethekileyo-Natron. Unyaka wonke ukhangela abaninzi abavakhenkethi abaza apha ukuba bajonge ukubukeka kwawo okungaqhelekanga, okukhunjulwa kwimeko ye-alien ye-surreal. Ngoko, makhe sifumane ukuba yintoni imfihlelo yamanzi obomvu echibini kwaye kutheni abemi beenxa zonke abahlala kwiidolophana ezijikelezile.
Inkqutyana yaseLake Natron
I-Lake Natron yinto engacacanga (ubunzulu bayo buhluka ukusuka kwi-1.5 ukuya kwi-3 m), ngoko kuya kufikelela kuma-50 kunye no-60 ° C. Umxholo we-sodium salts emanzini echibini uphakeme kangangokuba ifilimu ifom ephezulu, kwaye kwiinyanga ezifudumezayo (ngoFebhuwari noKwindla), nokuba amanzi ahlasele ngenxa yoko. Ezi meko ziyakuthanda umsebenzi we-haanophilic cyanobacteria ehlala eLake Natron, ngenxa ye-pigment apho amanzi anombomvu obomvu. Nangona kunjalo, umthunzi wamanzi uhluka ngokuxhomekeka kwenkathi kunye nokujula - i-echibi ingaba li-orange okanye i-pinkish, kwaye ngezinye izihlandlo ibonakala njengesiqhekeza esiqhelekileyo.
Kodwa into eyonwabisayo kunye nenomdla kukuba amanzi aseNatron eTanzania ayingozi. Ngenxa yezinga eliphakamileyo le-alkali, amanzi anetyuwa aphethwe ngotyuwa ngokugqithiseleyo xa umntu, isilwanyana okanye intaka ibhaptizwa echibini. Kulapha iindidi ezininzi ziye zafumanisa ukufa kwazo. Emva koko, imizimba yabo iyanzima kwaye igxininise, igqubuthe ngezinto ezimbiwa ngamaminerali. Zininzi zezi ntsalela zeentaka zafunyanwa apha ngu-photographer uNick Brandt, izinto zokuqokelela incwadi yakhe ethi "On Earth Tortured." Iifoto zakhe, ezidumileyo kulo mhlaba wonke umhlaba, zaba sisiseko salo mdlalo, othi iLake Natron ijika izilwanyana zibe ngamatye.
Kuphela iintlobo zezilwanyana ezinokuhlala apha. Ngokomzekelo, ehlobo, ngexesha lexesha lokukhula, amawaka ama-flamingos amancinci athayela elwandle. Bakha izidleke phezu kwamatye nakwiiqithi zetyuwa, kwaye ukushisa okujikelezayo kubangela ukuba iintaka zivelise ngokulula abantwana phantsi kokukhuselwa kwechibi. Oku akuzona izilwanyana ezizenzekelayo, zinoyika ngephunga elimnandi elivela echibini.
Ngokubhekiselele kubantu, isizwe somvuzo ukusuka kwindlu yamaMasai ehlala echibini yizona ziqhelo. Baye bahlala apha iminyaka emininzi yeminyaka, balinda impi yabo, abayisebenzisayo njengamadlelo. Ngendlela, kule ndawo yafunyanwa i-Homo Sapiens, elele emhlabathini iminyaka engama-30 eyiwaka. Kubonakala ukuba akuyona into yokuba ilizwekazi laseAfrika libhekwa njengendawo yokuzalwa yomntu.
Indlela yokufikelela eLake Natron eTanzania?
Isixeko esikhulu kunazo zonke eTanzania , kufuphi neLake Natron, i- Arusha , esili-240 km. Ifikeleleka ngebhasi ukusuka eDar es Salaam okanye kwiDodoma . Ukongeza, kwiidolophu zase-Arusha yiyona ipaki yelizwe eliqaqambileyo.
I-Lake Natron ayilungiselelanga ihambo nganye. Unokufikelela kule ndawo eyingqinileyo ngeendlela ezimbini: nokuba ngethuba lokutyelela kwi-volcano yase-Oldoino-Lengai, okanye ngokuzimela, ngokuqasha imoto engaphandle kwindlela e-Arusha. Nangona kunjalo, gcinani engqondweni ukuba ukutyelela ngabanye, okokuqala, kuya kukubiza ngakumbi, kwaye okwesibini, kuya kuba yingozi kakhulu ngaphandle kwesikhokelo okanye isikhokelo phakathi kwabemi bendawo.
