Iinyanga ezintathu uphume unyaka ecaleni kwemilambo yasemazantsi eGreenland, umhlaba obandayo okhenkcezayo, umkhenkce wolwandle ubuyela umva kwaye uyasibona isizathu sokuba uErik oBomvu abaleke ngokubiza ilizwe phezulu kwihlabathi iGreenland - endaweni yeNarnia.

Ndindwendwele ngoJuni, ndihamba ngeTunulliarfik Fjord nge IRally yomoya yeVintage Ngexesha lokhenketho lwe-arctic, kwaye kwafunyanwa amasimi eentyatyambo zasendle iinyawo ezintathu ukuphakama zigquma iinduli kunye neefama ezintle kwiindawo eziphantsi ezikhulayo iitumato, iminqathe, iletisi kunye neengcambu zemifuno. Wonke lo mboniso ujonge ukukhutshwa kwincwadi yokudlala ka-Andrew Wyeth kwaye iphantse yafana kwingingqi ye-Western Fjord e-Iceland, ngaphandle kokuqengqeleka kunye nokuzala i-icebergs ezifakwa mihla le kwiQooroq Glacier ekufuphi.

Kodwa ngokungafaniyo Ayisilend , akukho zibhasi zabakhenkethi okanye iindwendwe ezininzi, kwaye bambalwa abomeleleyo abathatha inqwelo moya eyongezelelweyo ukusuka eNuuk, eReykjavik, okanye eCopenhagen ukuze bazibonele le ndawo inesithukuthezi sehlabathi bavuzwa ngemibono emangalisayo yeentaba ezintle ezimasikizi; iidolophana ezintle zaseQassiarsuk, eNarsaq naseNassarsuaq ezibonisa unxweme; kunye nesilayi esibalulekileyo sembali.

Ngelixa kubonakala ngathi umhlaba uvuka nje ukuya eGreenland, ibiyinxalenye yeendlela zorhwebo ezibalulekileyo ukusukela nge-982, xa u-Erik oBomvu aqala ukuhlala apha. Ayikuko ukuba uErik wayefuna ukuza kuqala.

U-Erik wagxothwa e-Iceland iminyaka emithathu, u-Ole Guldager, umphathi weziko lolondolozo lwembali lase Narsarsuaq ucacisile. Wayenomsindo omkhulu kwaye wabulala amakhoboka ambalwa. Nangona iiVikings zazinoburhalarhume, le yayingeyonto eyamkelekileyo yokuziphatha ke wacelwa ukuba ahambe iminyaka emithathu. Ukuba wayehleli wonke umntu wayenelungelo lokumbulala, ke wemka waya kuba sempilweni.

U-Erik wahamba ngomkhumbi waya eNtshona kwaye wafumana iTunulliarfik Fjord, awayeyithathile kunye nayo wagqiba kwelokuba afudukele apho ngokusisigxina.

Emva kweminyaka emithathu yokugxothwa wavunyelwa ukuba abuyele umva, kodwa wakhetha ukukhuthaza abanye ukuba beze eGreenland, utshilo uGuldager. Uyabona, eGreenland wayeza kuba ngukumkani, apho nase-Iceland wayeza kuba ngumlimi nje-ke wabamba ithuba lokuba ngutata wesizwe.

Namhlanje, iindwendwe zinokubhabha zingene kumgaqo omfutshane omfutshane waseNarsarsuaq- uthathwa njengenye yeefayile ze- iindlela ezilishumi eziyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni -Ndwendwela amanxuwa aseNorse eQassiarsuk (eyayisakuba yiBrattahlid) ngaphesheya kwe-bay. Ifumaneka emlonyeni we-fjord, ilali yanamhlanje yokulima ijikeleze ukuveliswa kwendlu ende yeViking, icawa yokuqala eGreenland, kunye nendlu yamandulo ye-Inuit. Indawo ye-bucolic-de umntu acinge ukuba bunjani ubomi babantu apha kwiinyanga ezisibhozo ngaphandle konyaka.

Ifjord ibanda kangangeemitha ezili-10 ubukhulu kunye neekhilomitha ezingama-20 ubude ebusika, uSam Rutherford, umnini IRally yomoya yeVintage kunye nomqhubi wenqwelomoya oye wangena eNarsarsuaq amatyeli aliqela, utshilo. Kukukhohlakala.

Kodwa ngexesha lasehlotyeni, loo ndawo sisiqwenga sezulu. Imozulu iyafudumala kwaye izinzile kwaye iindwendwe ziyakwazi ukunyuka kwi-ice sheet malunga neekhilomitha ezimbini ukusuka kude, ibhayisikili yeentaba ukuya kwii-glaciers, i-kayak, i-seil, kunye neentlanzi kwi-fjord-konke ngelixa lijonga iminenga, iibhere ze-polar kunye neempawu.

Ihotele ephambili kuloo ndawo yiNarsarsuaq Hotel, enamagumbi angama-92 kwaye ihlala ivuliwe unyaka wonke. Ihotele-njengakwiindawo ezininzi kwi-arctic, kubandakanya i-Iceland-ayibizi. Ngama- $ 250 ngobusuku, yihotele esisiseko, kodwa irestyu ithengisa ukutya okumgangatho wehlabathi njenge-trout yolwandle ene-hollandaise, imifuno yengcambu, iimbotyi eziluhlaza kunye nesaladi entsha. Yonke imveliso nenyama zivela kwiifama ezinqumleze umfula ongaselunxwemeni okanye ngaphandle kwezikhephe zokuloba ezimiselwe yonke imihla kwaye, kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukuba ukude kangakanani nomnye umhlaba, okumnandi ngendlela emangalisayo.

Okona kubi phakathi kwethu, i Ihostele yaseLeif Erikkson eQassiarsuk iphantsi nje kumanxuwa kwaye ngokuthe ngqo ezantsi komfanekiso oqingqiweyo wonyana kaErik, uLeif, olawula esi siphelo sefjord. Iidola ezingama-40 nje ebusuku zicocekile, zikhululekile, kwaye zinika iindwendwe iibhayisikile zeentaba kunye nezikhokelo.

IiViking zahlala apha kangangeminyaka engama-500- ixesha elide kakhulu, utshilo uGuldager. Lilixesha elifanayo ukusuka kuColumbus ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje - emva koko banyamalala. Uninzi lwenzululwazi lukholelwa ukuba kungenxa yezinto ezininzi: okusingqongileyo, ukunqongophala korhwebo. Kwaye isibetho esimnyama sasinwenwele eYurophu, sivula imbuyekezo yokubuya eYurophu. Uninzi lwabantu luye lwanyamalala kancinci.

Enkosi kukhenketho, umhlaba ococekileyo, kunye namabhodlo embali, baqala ukubuya.
