Unyaka ngamunye ngamaviki ambalwa nje ayigugu ngasekupheleni kwentwasahlobo, izikhukhula ze- Great Smoky Mountains National Park zibeka umqondo wokuziphendulela, umbukiso wemilingo. Woza ebusuku, amashumi ezinkulungwane zezimbungulu zombani zivumelanisa izibani zazo futhi zikhanyise ndawonye. Ipaki evakashelwa kakhulu e-United States yindawo kuphela eMelika lapho kwenzeka khona, futhi ingenye yezilwane ezimangalisayo kakhulu zemvelo-khona lapho ne- Aurora Borealis , amatshe okuhamba, kanye nokufuduka kweMarch Butterfly .
Enye yezinhlobo ezingu-19 zezibhamu ezinkulu ze-Smokies, iziphephelo ezidumile ze-synchronous zithatha kusukela eminyakeni eyodwa kuya kwemibili zivuthiwe izibungu zibe abantu abadala, kepha uma sezikhulile zizohlala amasonto amathathu kuphela. Amaphethini aqhamukayo acatshangwa ukuthi ayingxenye yemikhosi yokuxubana emlilweni. Amaduna ayahamba bese ekhanya bese abesilisa besifazane, behlala bemi, baphendula nge-flash yabo siqu.
Ososayensi abazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi kungani izibhamu ezivutha umlilo zivumelanisa kodwa zikholelwa ukuthi esinye isizathu singase sibe ukuncintisana phakathi kwabesilisa ukuba sibe ngabokuqala ukukhanya noma ukukhiqiza i-bioluminescence ekhanyayo.
Nini Ukubuka Iziphepheli Zomlilo Ezihambisanayo
Izinsuku zezinyanga ezimbili zokubeletha lapho izibhamu ziqala ukubonisa ziyahlukahluka unyaka nonyaka. Ososayensi abazi ukuthi kungani, kuphela ukuthi kubonakala sengathi kuxhomeke ekushiseni nasekukhusheni kwenhlabathi. Akunakwenzeka ukubikezela kusengaphambili lapho izinambuzane zizoqala ukukhanya konyaka kodwa ukugqama ukukhanyisa izibhamu ezivame ukuhambisana nezivunguvungu ngokuvamile kungakapheli isikhathi sekupheleni kukaMeyi kuya kuJuni.
Ngaphambi kwesikhathi esiqongile, inani lezibhamu ezikhanyayo zakha kancane usuku ngalunye. Ngemuva kwesikhathi esikude, ukukhanya kuya kancane kancane kuze kube sekupheleni isikhathi sokukhula. Kusukela ngo-1993, lolu suku oluphakeme lwenzeke phakathi kwesonto lesithathu likaMeyi kuya kwesonto lesithathu ngoJuni.
Izinto ezingokwemvelo ezingathinta ukukhanya kwezibhamu zihlanganisa:
- Isimo sezulu. Ngama-misty, kusihlwa kulandela imvula, izinambuzane zingase zingabonakali kalula.
- Ukushisa. Amazinga okushisa aphansi angaphansi kwama-50ยบ F azovala futhi isibonisi ebusuku.
- Isigaba senyanga. Lokhu kwaziwa futhi ukuthi kuthinta isikhathi sokubukwa ebusuku. Ngobusuku ngenyanga ekhanyayo, izinambuzane zingase ziqale ukukhanya kancane kusihlwa kunokujwayelekile.
Ukuthola Amathikithi ku-Firefly Show
Phakathi namasonto aqhakazile amancane, izivakashi zifika ezintabeni ezinkulu ze-Smoky Mountains ngezinkulungwane. Lesi senzakalo sesithandwa kakhulu kangangokuthi i-Great Smoky Mountains National Park kudingeke ukuba inciphise inani labantu abangabuka izibhamu emini ebusuku. Ipaki ithengisa inani elilinganiselwe lamaphasi ekubukeni kwe-firefly e-Elkmont Campground, indawo lapho kukhanya khona kukhulu kakhulu.
Amathikithi athengiswa ngasekupheleni kuka-Ephreli ngezinsuku zokubuka ezikhethiwe. Izinsuku ze-2018 azikabikwazanga.
Ufuna ukuya khona? Amathikithi abiza u-$ 1.50 ngamunye. Kudingeka futhi uthenge amathikithi angu- $ 1 we-shuttle trolley, okukuthatha ukusuka e-Sugarlands Visitor Centre kuya ku-Elkmont. Kumele ufake i-lottery ukuze uqhube indawo yokupaka eSikhungweni Sokuvakasha SaseSuarland kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-Ephreli. Ipaki yokupaka ihlanganisa abantu abayisithupha ngemoto ngayinye.
IPaki ithengisa ama-115 ukubuka amathikithi kusengaphambili usuku ngalunye lomcimbi futhi ithatha amanye amaphasi angu-85 ngosuku ngalunye. Letikiti zokugcina ezingu-85 zizotholakala ngo-10 ekuseni ngosuku olulandelayo, kwi-intanethi ku-recreation.gov.
I-Caveat: Uzofuna ukusetha i-alamu yakho. Amaphesenti ezinsuku nezikhathi ezithandwayo kakhulu athengisa ngaphandle kwamaminithi ambalwa.
Indlela Yokuba Ababukeli Be-Firefly Abahloniphekile
Ekubukeni ebusuku, isevisi ye-trolley phakathi kwe-Sugarland ne-Elkmont izogijima kusukela ngo-6: 00 kuya ku-9 ntambama, ngokubuya ukuhamba cishe ngo-11 ntambama. Izivakashi zicelwa ukwenza okulandelayo:
- Vala izibani zokukhanya nge-cellophane enemibala, njengoba ukukhanya okumhlophe kuphazamisa izibhamu futhi kuphazamise abanye ukubukwa ebusuku kobukeli
- Sebenzisa kuphela i-flashlight ngenkathi uhamba endleleni, hhayi kanye endaweni yokubuka indawo yezempi. Gcina ivaliwe lapho izibhamu zikhanya.
- Ungazami ukubamba izibhamu. Hlonipha indawo.
