I-Volcano Sahama itholakala ensimini yepaki elilodwa lezwe . Ngaphansi kwentaba kukhona iziphethu ezishisayo nama-geysers.
Imizila yezikhungo
Umkhumbi wokuqala ukuya enkundleni wenziwa ngo-1939 nguJosef Prem noWilfried Kym ngaseningizimu-ntshonalanga. Namuhla intaba-mlilo iheha futhi inani elikhulu labagibeli. Ukukhuphula umhlangano wayo kubhekwa njengomsebenzi onzima kakhulu, ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yokuphakama okuphakeme kwe-volcano, futhi ngenxa yeqhwa le-ice cap eliqala ngamamitha angu-5500. Ukusuka eBolivia, i-ice cap inamandla kakhulu kunehlangothini ebusayo I-Chile. Isizathu salokhu yisilinganiso esikhulu semvula esezansi lapha. Ngezansi kwemakhilomitha angu-5500 kunezitshalo ezincane ezitshaliwe. Emithambekeni yenziwe imigwaqo yezinhlobonhlobo zeziyinkimbinkimbi, ethandwa kakhulu yindawo enyakatho-ntshonalanga. Emazingeni angu-4800 m kukhona ikamu elimisiwe, lapho kukhona khona indlu yangasese.
Imizila iqala emadolobheni amaningana aphakeme-entabeni, asezintabeni zomphepho - Sahama, Tameripi noma eLagunas. Umzana waseSahama ulele endaweni engamamitha angu-4200. Ngokusemthethweni, ama-ascents avunyelwe phakathi kuka-Ephreli no-Okthoba.
Ungafika kanjani ku-volcano?
Kungenzeka ukuba ufinyelele ezinyaweni zeSahama kusuka eLa Paz cishe amahora amane - ibanga lingama-280 km. Ukuhamba kulandela imizila inombolo 1 no-RN4. Khona-ke uzodinga ukuya kwelinye lamadolobhana (umgwaqo ungathatha cishe amahora amane), lapho kuzokwenzeka khona ukuqala umkhumbi wokuhamba ngezinyawo.
