IMono Lake View

I-Mono Lake (imirhumo ene "OH akukho") yinqaba enkulu yendalo ngokusemgangathweni kwilizwe laseCalifornia. Xa sele sele sengozini xa isondlo samanzi siphambukela kwisibini saseLos Angeles, salahlekelwa isiqingatha salo kwiminyaka engama-40 ngaphambi kokuba kufikelelwe isivumelwano sokuyigcina.

I-Lake Mono yanamhlanje iphantsi kwinqanaba elijoliswe kwii-6,392 iinyawo. Iimeko zenkomfa zanciphisa inkqubela phambili ekujoliswe kuyo, kwaye inokuthabatha ukuya kuma-2020 ngaphambi kokuba ifinyelele ubunzulu.

Impawu eyaziwayo kakhulu zeMono Lake yi-tufa yayo ephawulekayo (TWO-fuh). Ngokuhamba kwexesha, imvula eMona Lake ayizange iqhubeke nokukhuphuka kwamanzi kunye namaminerali kumanzi akhiwe. I-echibi ngoku liphindwe kabili njengamafutha kunye namaxesha angama-80 njenge-alkaline njengelwandle.

Xa izinga lechibi laliphezulu, imithombo yamanzi ahlambulukileyo yageleza yangena echibini ngaphantsi komhlaba kwaye yasabela kunye nezityeyamachibi zeli zibi ukuba zenze i-stamatic cement-like calcium carbonate spiers kunye neendonga ezithanjana namanxweme aseMono Lake namhlanje, zikhangeleka njengezixeko zasendulo ezilahliwe.

Isizathu sokuba kufuneka uye kwiMono Lake ngoku

Njengoko ilitye lizalisekile, iindonga ze-tufa zingabonakali kakhulu. Ekubeni ndaqala ukufudukela eCalifornia kuma-1990, umangaliso wokubabona uye wancipha. Oko akutsho ukuba yinto embi kwindalo ngokubanzi, kodwa ukuba ufuna ukubona ezo zide, iindonga zendonga, hamba ngokukhawuleza njengoko unako ngaphambi kokuba ziphele.

Izinto ezenziweyo kwiMono Lake

I-Mono Lake ilungile xa ibonwa kuyo nayiphi na indlela. Ababhenkethi abathatha ixesha baya kufumana amaninzi ukwenza apha:

• Iziko leMboniso leMono leLona: Kwiziko leendwendwe ngaphandle kwe-US Hwy 395, unokubona imiboniso malunga nomlando wendawo. Iziko likwayona ndawo efanelekileyo yokufumana ngeemeko zangoku kwaye ufumane ingcebiso ngeengcali.
• Isitoreji se-South Tufa: Iinqaba eziphambili ze-tufa zisezantsi. Unokuhamba phakathi kwabo, ubuncinane ngoku.
• IiNdwendwe zeNdalo: Ehlobo, ungathatha ityeya okanye uhambo oluhambayo lweendonga ze-tufa
• Imifanekiso: Iifoto ze -Mono Lake tfafa zenza iifoto ezimangalisayo, ngokukodwa ngokukhawuleza kwelanga emva kwazo. Ngokuxhomekeka kwimihla, ukuphuma kwelanga nokutshona kwelanga kungabonakalisa amathuba emifanekiso emangalisayo. Ukuba ukhetha ukuhamba ekushoneni kwelanga, kufika ubuncinane iyure ngaphambi kwexesha "lokusasa" kwelanga, njengoko ilanga litshona ngaphantsi kweentaba ngaphambili kunokuba ungacinga.
• I-Lake Tours: Indlela efanelekileyo yokufumana iLimo leMono ukuphuma kuyo. Unokuthatha uhambo lweenqanawa kunye neCaldera Kayaks okanye omnye oxhaswe yiKomiti yeLwandle yaseMono.
• Ukubukela kweentaka : Ekubeni, iintaka ezininzi ezifudukayo zimi kwiMono Lake, e-Pacific Flyway, indlela ehamba phambili yokufuduka.

South Tufa

I-Mono Ichibi ayinayo indawo yangaphandle. Ngexesha elide, amaminerali kunye nezinye iikhemikhali zakhelwe ngamanzi alo kwaze kube manje zibuhlungu ngaphezu kolwandle kunye ne-alkaline njenge-chlorine bleach. Amanzi amatsha amanzi aphepha amanzi amanzi e-calcium-up of water from the bottom of the lake, kwaye iimpendulo zala mabini zakha amatye akhayo njengama-stalagmites emqolombeni. Ngaphambi kokuba amanzi echibi aphambuke kwii-1940, ezi zifihla "zifihla" zafihla phantsi kwamanzi, kodwa namhlanje zimi ngaphantsi kwinqanaba lamanzi njengedolophu engaqhelekanga, elahliwe.

Lo mfanekiso uthathwe kwi-South Tufa Reserve, indawo yokumisa yokuvakasha. Iindonga ze-tufa apha ziguguke kubantu abakhwela kubo, befihla ukusikeka okubuthathekayo oya kubona kwenye imifanekiso yefafa kule galari, eyathathwa kwisikhephe.

NgoSeptemba, bathabatha inqwelo ye-3e-mayela-yee-3 000 ukuya kwiiAndes.

Kwakhona kwi-Fall, phantse izigidi ezi-2 ze-Ears zamaGrabe zithintela elwandle. Enyuka ngakumbi kunePhalaropes, ingaba kathathu isisindo sayo ngaphambi kokuhamba.

I-Osprey yenza izidleke zazo zifake kwiinqaba ze-tufa ze-echibi.

NgoJuni, ukunyuka okukhulu kubathandi beentaka, xa i-Bird Chautauqua yonyaka iqhubeka. Esi siganeko esithandwayo esichaza ukuhamba kwintsimi, iintetho, kunye neminye imisebenzi ejoliswe kwintaka inqabileyo kangangokuba amabala anikwe iLotter.

Mono Lake Brine Shrimp

Umfanekiso omangalisayo we-brine shrimp (u-Artemia monica) uthathwe kwi-lake. Le ntlobo ye-brine shrimp i malunga nobukhulu be-thumbnail kwaye ifumaneke kuphela kwi-Mono Lake. Njengazo zonke i-brine shrimp, ziyakwazi ukunyamezela amanzi atyuwa kakhulu.

Ngokutsho kweKomiti yeLwandle yaseMono, i-4 ukuya kwi-6 triliyoni bahlala echwebeni ehlobo. Banikela ukutya okuninzi kweentaka zendawo. Kukho ininzi kuwo wonke umntu de ukuwa xa phantse ii-2,000,000 Ears Grebes zifika "kwi-cocktail shrimp."

Kulula ukuxelela ukuba lesi sithombe sithathwe ehlobo - ngobusika, zonke iinhlanzi ziyafa xa amaqondo ashisa. Babuyela emva kwentwasahlobo elandelayo, beqhekeza amaqanda amancinci aveliswa ngamabhinqa ngaphambi kokuba afe. Abo bathiwa ngama-cysts basebenzisa ubusika kwisibini esingaphantsi, ke ukukhula kuba yimfucuza kubantwana bafudumele ngokwaneleyo.

Isizukulwana sokuqala samakhriphu amakhulu esikhupha ngoMeyi noJuni, silandelwe isizukulwana sesibini ngo-Agasti noSeptemba. Inani leemfumba kwisizukulwana ngasinye kuxhomekeka kwiimeko ezibandakanya ukushisa kunye nokukhula kwe-algae.

Amanzi abukeka enamafutha ngenxa yamanzi amanzi emzimbeni azama ukuxuba kunye namanzi e-saltier echibini ngaphantsi.
