Ukunyuka okwandayo kweendlela zorhwebo kweenqwelo moya, imizila yoololiwe, kunye noohola bendlela abawela kakhulu kwiplanethi yethu kwenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuba uzive ngathi usecaleni kwayo nantoni na. Uninzi lwethu ngoku lucinga ngemigama ngokweeyure ezihamba ngomoya, njengokuvela eNew York, kuthatha ixesha elifanayo ukuya eLos Angeles okanye eDublin. Kwaye kwezi ntsuku, ungaqhuba noohola bendlela baseCanada yonke indlela eya emantla ukuya kuLwandlekazi iArctic eTuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories - kwaye emva koko ithiyori ujikele ekunene ujikeleze kwaye uqhube yonke indlela esezantsi ePatagonia. Njengoko kuvela, imeko yokwenyani yokwenza ukuba ibe semngciphekweni wempucuko kunokuba ngumceli mngeni ukuyifumana.

Kuhambo lwakutshanje oluya eAlaska, njengomntu onobudlelwane bezo ndawo (ndakhe ndaqhuba iiyure ezine kumazantsi ePerth, eNtshona Ostreliya nje ukuze ndime kwelona lizwe likude emhlabeni ukusuka kwisiXeko saseNew York, apho ndandihlala khona ngelo xesha), Ndizimisele ukufumana into enokuthi ichazwe njengokuphela komgca. Xa ujonga imephu ekwi-intanethi ye Umgaqo wendlela waseAlaska Inkqubo yesikhephe, umnwe wam ulandelwe kwiscreen selaptop yam yonke indlela esentshona kwizibuko leDutch Harbour. Ibekwe kwisiqithi esingaqondakaliyo i-Unalaska, iDutch Harbour sisiphelo sokugqibela, ukuya kuthi ga ngasentshona njengayo nayiphi na into yokuhamba koluntu eMelika. Ewe, ukungazi nto malunga nesi siqithi esikude ngaphandle kwendlela ekude ngayo-kwaye yayiyimeko yomboniso we-TV Ukubamba okuBulala kakhulu, apho umlobi ongoyikiyo ulwandle olunesibindi-ndicinga ukuba, kunjalo. Kulapho ndifuna ukuya khona.

Ukuthi ufuna ukuya kwenye indawo kwaye ucwangcise amalungiselelo eso sigqibo, nangona kunjalo, zizinto ezimbini ezahlukileyo kakhulu. Iiferi zithatha malunga neeyure ezingamashumi amathandathu anesihlanu ukufikelela e-Unalaska ukusuka eHomer, kwaye oko kucinga ukuba akukho kulibaziseka njengoko uhamba ngenqanawa ngaphezulu komngxunya, ongalindelekanga kuMntla Pacific. Ndinexesha lokuphonononga, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo akunjalo lonto ixesha elininzi- ngequbuliso, i-490 yeedola, iiyure-ezimbini zeenqwelo moya zeAlaska Airlines ezisuka eAnchorage zabonakala ngathi kufanelekile ukuba zifumane ipenny.

Indlela ezisebenza ngayo izicwangciso zam, bendiya kuba neeyure ezingamashumi amabini anesine kuphela kwesi siqithi. Andizange ndiyazi, ndiza kuhamba ndinxanelwe ixesha elingakumbi lokuchitha apho, nangakumbi ixesha lokujonga le ndawo ingaqondakaliyo esiphelweni sehlabathi.

Njengoko inqwelo-moya yam yayisondela emhlabeni e-Unalaska, into yokuqala endayiqaphelayo yayiyinkangala leyo. Umhlaba wentaba-mlilo unyuka ngesiquphe nangokumangalisayo, wahlula uLwandle lweBering ukuya emantla ukusuka kuMntla wePacific ukuya emazantsi. Ndiyabulela kumawakawaka ovunguvungu, imimoya ebhudla ngamandla, kunye namaxesha ambalwa omkhenkce, isiqithi siphantse asinayo kwaphela imithi. Isiqithi simangalisa ngokuluhlaza, luhlobo lwezityebi zeemaradi kunye nolwandle lwaselwandle oluqhakaza kwimozulu enje ngetundra. Kubonakale kwangoko kuyinyumba kwaye kuchumile ngendlela endingazange ndayibona- ngaphandle kokungabi nathemba, ukuba esi siqithi siphume siphuma elwandle kumawaka amabini eekhilomitha kumazantsi, kungavakala ngathi sisiHawaii. Ndacinga emva kwiiyure nje ezimbini ngaphambili, ndilinde inqwelo-moya yam e-Anchorage, xa indoda ebukeka ityuwa indala ilinde inqwelo-moya efanayo yandixelela, Kukho umfazi omhle emva kwayo yonke imithi e-Unalaska.

Xa wehla kwinqwelo-moya okanye esikhepheni apha, ukufutshane naseSiberia kunokuba kunjalo eVancouver. Ekuqalekeni kokuqala, kulula ukuzibuza ngokungakhululeki malunga nokuba kutheni kwaye kutheni abantu beya kuhlala kwindawo eyinkangala (namhlanje, abemi besiqithi bajikeleza malunga ne-4,500). Kodwa inyani kukuba ii-Aleuts zakhula kakuhle kwi-Unalaska ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamawaka alithoba. Ukuqonda le nyani kuyangqubana nayo yonke into esicinga ukuba siyayazi malunga negama elikude, ngakumbi iingcinga zaseYurophu nezekoloniyali. Ukude kude kube lixesha elinxulumene.

Izinto zokuqala kuqala - ukuthuthwa. Zimbini iinkampani eziqeshisa ngeemoto e-Unalaska: B.C. Ukuqeshiswa Kwezithuthi , kunye Ukuqeshiswa kweMantla ePort . Ukuba enye ithengisiwe, baya kukuthumela okhuphisana nabo kungekho mibuzo ibuziweyo, kwaye bobabini banokuthi bakukhumbuze ukuba upake emoyeni - ukupaka ecaleni kwomoya kungakhokelela kwimeko yokuqengqeleka, uhlobo lweentloni zabakhenkethi ezihlazo- pas eya kukwenza uthethe ngesiqithi ngaphakathi kwemizuzu. Akukho mntu uyifunayo.

Nje ukuba irente ihlelwe, qala nge-drive engenanjongo ejikeleze idolophu ukuze ufumane iibheringi zakho. Kuhle kakhulu ukuba kungalahleka apha, kwaye kuninzi ukubona: ukusasazeka kwe-bunkers yeMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi; Mbini, Mbini! Iiofisi zePosi zaseMerika; kunye neCawa yobuOthodoki yaseRussia eqala ngo-1894. Thatha iyure ukutyelela IMyuziyam yee-Aleutians , Apho ingqokelela emnandi yemveli yemveli ikhanyisa le ndawo imnyama inembali yoluntu. Kukwakho nenani lokunyuka kwesi siqithi ukusukela ngeyure ukuya kwimini epheleleyo. Ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza INtaba iBallyhoo inikeza iimbono ezikhethekileyo zezibuko, ledolophu, kunye neembono ezingqongileyo. Ukunyuka okunzima ngakumbi, qwalasela iAgamgik Trail , ephela kwisiNgesi Bay, apho uKaputeni Cook wafika khona ngo-1778 - akunakufane uhlangane nomnye umphefumlo kuyo yonke le ndlela.

Ukuba uqhuba nje usiya emantla usuka edolophini, uyakufika entliziyweni yento egcina esi siqithi sihamba: ukuloba ngentengiso. Izibuko laseDatshi lelona zibuko likhulu lokuloba ngokomthamo eUnited States, kwaye izibuko apha zihlala zihonjiswe ngomnatha omkhulu weefektri, iinqanawa eziphuma iintsuku okanye iiveki ngexesha, zirhuqa iminatha elingana nenkundla kulwandle oluvulekileyo ukubamba intlanzi. Ukujonga nje kwezi nqanawa zikhulu ngumsebenzi ngokwawo. IHalibut, i-sablefish, kunye nononkala bonke bafuna ukubanjwa, kodwa ibali lokwenyani kwiDatshi laseDatshi yiWild Alaska Pollock, iseti yosapho lwe-cod. I-Pollock ithathwa njengenye yezona ndawo zizinzileyo zentlanzi kwihlabathi, kwaye ikwangumenzi wemali omkhulu kwesi siqithi - ezi ntlobo zisetyenziswa kuyo yonke into ukusuka eMcDonald's Filet-O-Fish, ukuxelisa inyama kanonkala ethunyelwa ngaphandle kwiimarike zaseAsia, eGwyneth Paltrow's Umgubo weGoop Marine Collagen. Kuyamangalisa ukubona ezi nqanawa zilayishwe iitoni kunye neetoni kunye neetoni zokujija isilivere, kwaye kuphantse kumangalisa ukucinga ngezizukulwane zabalobi abasebenza le minatha kwikona esecaleni yomhlaba, bethumela iintlanzi zabo kwihlabathi liphela kuyo yonke into ukusuka kukutya okukhawulezayo eKentucky ukuya kwi-collagen powder eBeverly Hills. Mhlawumbi i-Unalaska ayihlukananga kangako emva kwayo yonke loo nto.
