Ososayensi baye babiza i-Glacier Bay i-laboratory yokuphila ngenxa yokuhamba kwayo kweqhwa, ukulandelana kwezitshalo nokuziphatha kwezilwane. Iqhwa selikhulile emuva kwamamayela angu-65, ivula ibha elisha, libuyele ekuphileni. I-Alder ne-willows ziyanda futhi izitshalo ziheha izimpisi, i-moose, izimbuzi zezintaba, izintshe ezimnyama, amabhere amnyama, nokuningi. Ulwandle nalo lusekela izibopho zasolwandle, izintuthwane, izinyoni nezinyoni ezibulalayo. Yindawo okufanele uvakashelwe, ikakhulukazi uma uthanda izinto zemvelo nezilwane zasendle.
Umlando
Yamemezela iSikhumbuzo Sezwe SakwaGlacier Bay ngoFebhuwari 25, 1925 futhi yasungulwa njengepaki kazwelonke futhi igcinwa ngoDisemba 2, 1980. Le ndawo yanikezwa ngokuthi yihlane eDisemba 2, 1980 futhi yabekwa i-Biosphere Reserve ngo-1986.
Isikhathi Sokuvakashela
Ukuphela kukaMeyi kuya phakathi kuka-Septhemba yisikhathi esihle sokuvakashela. Izinsuku zasehlobo zinde futhi izinga lokushisa livame ukupholile. Ngesikhathi uMeyi noJuni benokukhanya kwelanga kakhulu, izintambo ezingaphezulu zingakwazi ukuqina nge-icebergs. NgoSeptemba kuvame ukuvuthwa nokuphefumula.
I-Visitor Centre ivulekile nsuku zonke kusukela ekupheleni kukaMe kuya ekuqaleni kukaSepthemba. Imibukiso ivuliwe amahora angu-24 ngenkathi idesksi yolwazi ne-Alaska Geographic ibhuku lokugcina livuliwe nsuku zonke kusukela ngo-11 ekuseni ukuya ku-9: 00 ebusuku
Ukufika Lapho
Ipaki itholakala kuphela ngesikebhe noma indiza. Kusukela kuJuneau, thatha indiza eya eGustavus, bese uthatha ibhasi ukuya eGlacier Bay Lodge naseBartlett Cove Campground. I-Alaska Airlines inikeza inkonzo ye-jet yansuku zonke esuka ku-Juneau ukuya eGustavus (cishe imizuzu engu-30) ehlobo.
Inkonzo yomoya yonyaka ehleliwe e-Gustavus nayo inikezwa ngamatekisi amancane ahlukahlukene namashadi. Amatekisi amaningana ezindiza abuyele enkundleni yemigwaqo ehlobene noJuniau neGustavus eHaines, eSkagway nakwamanye amadolobha ase-Alaska angaseningizimu-mpumalanga. Angasiza futhi ekungeneni eGlacier Bay ehlane.
Isikhathi sokuhamba ngezinyawo kusukela Juniau kuya eGutavus cishe imizuzu engu-30.
Phakathi nezinyanga zasehlobo, iFerry LeConte ihamba eGutavus kabili ngesonto kusukela kuJuniau. Isikebhe sesitimela sitholakala emakhilomitha angu-9 ukusuka kwindlunkulu yaseGlacier Bay epaki eBartlett Cove. Hlola iwebhusayithi ye-AMHS ukuthola ama-schedule, izikhathi, namazinga. Abavakashi bangase bathathe umkhumbi wokuvakasha noma umkhumbi wokuya epaki. Uhambo lokuhamba ngesikebhe nsuku zonke olusepaki luqhuba uhambo olusuka eBartlett Cove luya e-glaciers. Uma unomkhumbi wangasese, ungathola imvume nokubhuka ukuze ulethe i-intoto Glacier Bay.
Imali / Izimvume
Ayikho imali yokungena yokungena eGlacier Bay. Ukubhuka kuyadingeka ukuze ugibele ngasese, ikamu, i-rafting, nakweminye imisebenzi eminingi yezihambeli. Izivakashi ezilethela isikebhe eGlacier Bay kusukela ngoJuni 1 kuya ku-Agasti 31 kumele zibe nemvume nokubhuka. Uma uhlela ukumisa ekamelweni lokubuyela emuva, kuzodingeka uthole imvume yokukhululeka. Imali, izimvume, kanye nokubhuka kuyadingeka ukuze kulungiswe imifula yaseTatshenshini ne-Alsek.
Izinto okumelwe zenziwe
Imisebenzi e-Glacier Bay ifana nendawo. Abathandekayo bangaphandle bangakhetha ukuhamba ngezinyawo, ukumisa amatende, ukuzintaba, kayaking, rafting, ukudoba, ukuzingela, izinhlekelele zasendle, nokubuka izinyoni.
Kungenzeka ukuthi abathandi behlane bachitha izinsuku ezindawo ezikude kakhulu zepaki ngaphandle kokubona omunye umuntu.
I-Kayaking yoLwandle iyindlela elula futhi ethandwa kakhulu ukuhamba ehlane laseGlacier Bay. I-Kayaks ingalethwa epaki ngesikebhe, eqashelwa endaweni, noma ihlinzekwe ekuhambeni okuqondisiwe. Ukuqeda imifula yaseTatshenshini ne-Alsek esuka eCanada kuya eDry Bay epaki kuyindlela yokuhamba ehamba phambili emhlabeni emifuleni ye-glacial ngokusebenzisa enye yezintaba zomhlaba eziphakeme kakhulu ezisogwini. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uletha i-raft yakho siqu, ukuqashwa kwengubo yokugqoka, noma ujoyine uhambo oluqondisiwe, uzovulwa!
Ukubuyisela emuva futhi ukuzintaba yizindlela eziyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu zokuhlola ipaki, kodwa mhlawumbe okuvuza kakhulu.
Izindawo ezinkulu
I-Bartlett Cove: Ungase ufise ukuhlola indawo yakho ngokwakho, neqembu elincane, noma njengengxenye yeHolo lokuHamba kwamaRanger.
Noma ngabe iyiphi indlela oyikhethayo, ubuhle bukaBartlett Cove bufanele ukuthola.
I-West Arm: Ingalo yesentshonalanga ye-Bay iqukethe izintaba eziphakeme kunazo zonke zepaki kanye nama-glaciers amaningi asebenzayo.
I-Muir Inlet: Cabanga ngalokhu i-mecca yama-kayakers. Amatende nokuhamba kuyamangalisa lapha.
I-White Thunder Ridge: Ukunyuka okunamandla kule ndlela kuzokuvuza ngokubukwa okumangalisayo kwe-Muir Inlet.
I-Wolf Creek: Thatha lesi sikebhe ukuyobona lapho amanzi avula khona ihlathi eligcotshwe i-glacier cishe eminyakeni engu-7 000 edlule.
Iziqhingi zaseMarble: Indawo enhle yabalindi bezinyoni. Iziqhingi zisekela amakoloni okuzalela, ama-cormorants, ama-puffin, nama-murres.
Indawo yokuhlala
Kukhona izinketho eziningi zokuhlala lapho uvakashela iGlacier Bay National Park. I-Glacier Bay Lodge yiyona kuphela indawo yokuhlala ngaphakathi kwepaki. Ivulekile kusukela maphakathi no-Meyi ngasekuqaleni kukaSeptemba.
Amatende atholakala epaki e-Bartlett Cove. Ukuhlala okungenani izinsuku eziyi-14 kodwa labo abafuna ikamu lehlane kanye ne-kayaking, kunamathuba amatende angenamkhawulo.
Uma ufuna izindawo eziningi zokuvakasha, vakashela i-Gustavus eseduze, yezindwendwe, izindawo zokulala, ne-B & B.
Izilwane ezifuywayo
Njengoba i-Glacier Bay igcina izilwane eziningi zasendle, kungase kube yindawo engcono kakhulu yokuletha izilwane ezifuywayo. Izilwane ezifuywayo zivunyelwe emhlabeni ezindaweni ezimbalwa zokukhetha, futhi angeke zishiye zingalindelekile. Isilwane sakho kumele siphonswe noma sigwemeke ngezikhathi zonke. Awuvunyelwe emigwaqweni, emabhishi, noma kunoma yikuphi ukubuyela emuva, ngaphandle kwezilwane ezifuywayo ezisebhange ngasese emanzini.
