NgoMeyi 18 ephephandabeni »The Guardian»Kwashicilelwa isiqephu sezindaba esithile esasifuna ukwazi: Indlu kaSvalbard yosuku lwembubhiso ikhukhulwe yiqhwa elincibilika emazingeni okushisa aphakeme. Kule ndawo, kugcinwe imbewu ecishe ibe yisigidi yezinhlobonhlobo zezitshalo ukuze, uma kwenzeka ishabalala, ikwazi ukuphinde itholakale, okubalulekile ukuqonda ukubaluleka kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nemvelo. ukuphela kwezwe ohlelweni lwethu lwemvelo.
Kucacile. Lapho indawo enjalo igcwala amanzi, kuyinto ejwayelekile ukukhathazeka; hhayi ngeze, kusasa singazidinga lezo zinhlamvu. Kepha iqiniso alizange limangalise kangako.
Omunye wabadali begumbi wakhuluma naye »Popular Science»Futhi wachaza ukuthi belingakhukhulwanga ngempela, kepha kunalokho amanzi angena kulo mhubhe, into ebonakala yenzeka njalo, futhi ajiyiza. Umhubhe, ongaba amamitha ayikhulu ubude, usebenza njengendlela yokuhamba phakathi nentaba. Ngaphambi kokufinyelela eminyango ye-vault, umhlabathi ushintshela phezulu, futhi kule ndawo lapho amanzi enqwabelana khona futhi akhishwe ngamaphampu amabili.
»Umhubhe awuklanyelwanga ukuthi ungangeni amanzi ngaphambili ngoba besicabanga ukuthi awudingeki", wachaza. Noma kunjalo, uma amanzi amaningi engase angene, azoba yiqhwa maduzane, njengoba izinga lokushisa liyi -18ºC. Kodwa indawo efana nalena kufanele ikwazi ukuziphilisa, ngakho uhulumeni waseNorway uhlela ukulungisa ukuvuza ukuze kungenzeki futhi. Ukuze uthole imininingwane eyengeziwe ngezimo eziphathelene nesimo sezulu, ungavakashela isihloko sethu ku- izenzakalo zasemkhathini futhi i ukuphela kwezwe.
Kodwa-ke, uthe ngokususelwa ezifundweni azenzile, uma lonke iqhwa lingancibilika bese kwenzeka i-tsunami enkulu phambi kwedome, bekungeke kube nankinga, njengoba i-vault isazoqhubeka ibe yizindaba ezinhlanu noma eziyisikhombisa ngaphezulu komcimbi. Ukuze siqonde kangcono umthelela walezi zenzakalo ezithinta isimo sezulu somhlaba, singacwaninga kabanzi mayelana .
