ʻO kekahi o nā waiwai nani i hanaʻia ma keʻano, i weheʻia i 1855, i ka wā iʻikeʻo David Livingston i ka loko o'Afelika. Pono eʻikeʻia ua mahalo nuiʻo Briton i ka'āina a me nā kānaka e noho nei, a ua konoʻiaʻo ia e hoʻokipaʻia e nā aliʻi he nui o nāʻohana oʻAmelika. Ua kapa mauʻia ka mea hele e nā mea ākea i nā inoa kaiaulu. Aia kekahi hoʻokoe wale no kēia wailele.
ʻO ka wailele nui
I kēia mau lā,ʻikeʻia nā kūlana o ka Falls Victoria ma keʻano: 17 ° 55'28 "hema hema a 25 ° 51'24" ka lōʻihi o ka hikina.
I ka wa o Livingstone, uaʻike nā kama'āina o kekahi mauʻohana i kahi o ka makeʻana o Victoria. Ua loaʻa ka pilikino i ka wailele ma kahi pōpilikia, i kona heleʻana mai'Akelika Hema a hiki i ka'ākau ma Bechuanaland (Botswana) a hele aku i Zambezi.
He mea'ē paha kēia, akā,ʻaʻole i hauʻoliʻo Livingstone i konaʻikeʻana, akā ma loko o kēia mau mea e hōʻike neiʻo ia ka nani o ka Victoria Falls i nā'ānela. I ka makahiki 1855, ma mua o ka heleʻoleʻana o ka mea hele i kahi'ōlohelohe o ka nani maoli, akā,ʻo ia ka mea pale iʻole e hiki ke hoʻopaʻa. ʻO ka kiʻekiʻe o ka Falls Victoriaʻaʻole ia i emi iho ma mua o 110 (e like me kekahi mau kumuhana 120) mika, a he 1657 mau mika kona lōʻihi. ʻO ka kiʻekiʻe o ka wailele heʻelua manawa ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka Niagara Falls, aʻo ka mana o ka wai ka mea nui loa i ka lua o ka heleʻana i ke kahawai a hiki i 7,500 kupita. ʻO ka paia o ka wai, nā poʻe helehelena leo leo aʻo ka hele pololeiʻana i ka lewa, ua like ka poʻe hele i ka pā, e pale ana iā lākou mai ka puʻu o ka'āina. ʻO David e hoʻolālā e hana i kahi ala moana e hoʻokele ai i ka naʻau o'Afelika, ua hoʻopili muaʻo ia i ke alanui a kohoʻia kekahi paepae kūpono no ka hoʻonāʻana i kahi pae'āina ma ke ala o nā moku. Akā,ʻo ka wailele me kekahi o kona alo i kāpae i nā kumumanaʻo a pau o ka mea hele.
Māhele
ʻO kahi kahi o Victoria i hāʻule ai, he mākala nui ia ma kahi pā pōhaku i hanaʻia mai kahi pōhaku pōhaku a me ka basalt. ʻO ka laula o ka māmā he 30 mau mika. A i kahi e waihoʻia ai kahi one one a me ka basal, ua hanaʻia nā lua. He kahawaiʻo Zambezi i kahi o Victoria i hāʻule, ma kēia wahi ke piʻi ka paepae i kahi ākea oʻelua mika. Hiki ke kahawai i ka lihi o nā māwae a hāʻule i ka lua me ke kaha a me ka mana nui. Holo ke kiʻekiʻe o ka wai, i ka wāwae o ke kahawai, piʻi i luna i kahi kapuaʻi.
Ma kahi e pili ana i nā hīpila wailele, nā hippopotamuses, nā elepani a me nā'ōpili keʻokeʻo, i heluʻia ma ka Red Book, e ola. Loaʻa ka wailele i ka heluna o ka poʻe i kapaʻiaʻo Chongguet,ʻo ia ka Rainbow Place: pinepineʻia nā kahawai wai eʻelua mau momona.
I kēia lā, i ka hāʻuleʻana, aia kahiʻo Victoria a me kahi mālama'āina nui, a mai ka makahiki 1952 i manaʻoʻia he mākele'āina.
Ka Mea Nui o ka Honua
Uaʻikeʻiaʻo Victoria Falls ma'Afelika he wahi nani loa o ka honua. Hiki iāʻoe keʻoluʻolu i nā manaʻo o ka wailele e hiki koke mai i nā helu he nui.
- Hiki ke nānā i nā hohonu o ka puʻu, inā he nui kouʻuhane e piʻi ai i luna o ka Pōhaku Pōʻino a nānā i loko o ka lua pele ma lalo o kou mau wāwae, kahi e nui ai ka wai me ka leo a me ka leo.
- Hiki keʻikeʻia kahi ao lele ma luna o ka Falls Victoria ma muli o ka holoʻana mai ka wailele ma 64 km. Ke uhi nei kēia kapuaʻi i nā mea a pau a me nā mea a pau, me kahi ululāʻau liʻiliʻi, aia ma luna o ka wailele. Aia ma ka nahele kahi ala liʻiliʻi e hiki ai i nā mea a pau ke hele eʻoluʻolu i ka nānā.
- E hoʻomaopopo loa i ka nani a me ka nui o ka wailele mai ka lewa aiʻole mai ka pae i lalo nei. Hiki i nā pilo ke hāʻawi aku i kahi holo liʻiliʻi, kahi e hiki ai iāʻoe ke iho i lalo a lele i loko o ke kapa. Ua'ōlelo nā poʻe holokaʻi no ka nui o nā mea e like me nā holoʻokoʻa i nā mokulele Star Wars.
