Unoziva here kuti chii chinonzi volcano huru muAfrica?

Gomo iri rakanaka kwazvo, asi panguva imwechete ine ngozi uye isingazivikanwi inoshamisa yezvakasikwa. Kuona kuputika kwaro kunoreva kugamuchira zvisingakanganwiki, asi panguva ino zvakakosha kuva kure nechepakati pezviitiko, mushure mokunge zvose zvichisvirira madota, mabhanho uye mabhomba ane makomo makuru. Zvinhu zvakadai zvezvisikwa zviripo kune makondinendi ose. Uye nhasi tichazotaura pamusoro peiyo ndiyo mhepo yakanyanya kuputika muAfrica, chii ichocho.

Iyo yakakwirira, asi haisisiri gomo rinoputika pano iri Kilimanjaro. Kureba kwayo kunenge mamita 5895 mamita. MuSwahili, zita rinoreva "gomo chena". Iyi ndiyo mhepo yakakura zvikuru muAfrica muTanzania, kungo 300 km kumaodzanyemba kweEquator. Kilimanjaro ine zvikamu zvitatu zvakasiyana-siyana, iyo yakakwirira kupfuura yose iri Kibo (5895 mamita). Chirwere chechipiri ndiMavenzi (5149 m), chechitatu - Shira (3962 m). Pamusoro peKibo kune kamuti rine rutivi rwemakiromita matatu uye yakadzika 800 m.

Gomo guru riri muAfrica, iro zita raunenge watoziva, rakatanga kugadzira mamiriyoni mashoma emakore apfuura, apo rava yakapfuura kupfuura nzvimbo yakanganisa. Mavenzi neShira zvatove zvisingachaperi, asi Kibo inogona kubva kune imwe nzvimbo yezororo panguva chero ipi zvayo uye inopera nemasimba matsva. Mhedziso yekupedzisira yakasviba yaiva makore 360 000 akapfuura, uye data pamusoro pebasa regomo racho rakanyorwa muzana remakore rechina reXIX.

Wokutanga akawana muKirimanjaro aiva Johannes Rebman. Zvakaitika muna 1848, kunyange zvazvo, zvechokwadi, kutaurwa kwechibhururu ichi kwaive kwemakore akawanda isati yasvika zuva rekutanga. Austrian Ludwig Mutengesi uye wechiGermany Hans Meyer ndivo ndivo vokutanga kukwira kumusoro kwepamusoro peKirimanjaro musi waOctober 6, 1889.

Gomo guru reAfrica riri pamusoro paro rakawanda chechando, iro rakaonekwa ikoko makore akawanda akapfuura mushure mechando, uye ikozvino nhamba yaro inowira zvishoma nezvishoma. Masayendisiti anotenda kuti nokukurumidza chando chinonyangarika ipapo uye zvachose.

Kilimanjaro igomo rakanaka, kukwira iro rinozivikanwa kwazvo nevatashanyi, nokuti rinokubvumira kunzwa kamwechete 3 mamiriro ekunze. Pakuvamba (yekutanga makiromita matatu) kune masango ane masango, makomo enzizi, nzizi nemvura. Vagari munzvimbo ino vanobudirira kukura bhanana, kofi, chibage. Pakati pekumusoro kune gwenga, uye pamusoro-soro chando. Zvinyorwa zvechi Kilimanjaro ndezvokusavapo kwenzvimbo yemasango uye mune zvakasiyana-siyana zvakasiyana-siyana nehuwandu hushoma hwemamwe marudzi.

Gomo guru reAfrican inzvimbo yakanaka kune vatashanyi. Iko kune nzira dzakasikwa dzakasikwa, dzimwe dzadzo dzakagadzirirwa chete kusimudza, dzimwe dzedzinza. Zvisinei, izvi hazvisi nyore sezvingaita sezvinoita. Vanhu vasati vasimuka, vanofanira kunge vakagadzirira, nokuti pahupamhi hwepamusoro, zviri nyore kuona kusakwana kwe okisijeni, musoro uye hypothermia. Panove nokuve nokuputika kwemapapu kana uropi. Maererano nemamwe mapepa, vanhu vakawanda vakafa paKirimanjaro kupfuura paGomo reEverest.

Kunewo makomo anoputika muAfrica, uye imwe yepamusoro ndiyo Cameroon, iyo yakakwirira kupfuura 4 km. Inonyanya kushanda, saka ine mikana yakaisvonaka yekukurumidza kusimbisa kukwirira kukuru.
