Nā Glacier Kaulana o Nūhōlani
ʻO ka nui o ka heleleʻi hau i hoʻopili ʻia ma mua o nā makahiki he nui i hoʻololi ʻia i loko o kahi ʻāpana polū ikaika o ka hau paʻa: ʻo ia, ko mākou mau hoa, ke ʻano o ka pale hau (a ʻo ka hoʻomaka wale nō ia o kā mākou ʻike maoli hau.)
ʻO ka Tasman Glacier, Aoraki Pāka Aupuni ʻo Mt Cook ʻo ia ka nui o ka hau hau o Nūlani ka lōʻihi a me ka laulā. 22,000-16,000 mau makahiki i hala aku, ua hui pū ʻia e Murchison, Hooker, a me Mueller mau ʻāpana hau e hana i kahi ʻāpana hau hau he 115km. ʻO ka pepa hau nui ka punawai maoli o ka loko nui ʻo Pukaki, kahi i ʻoki ʻia ma mua o kahi helu nui o nā wā lōʻihi o ka hau e waiho ana.
Ke hoʻolana nei i kā lākou huakaʻi kiʻekiʻe i ke awāwa, kahe nā pepa hau i lalo i ka mika-me-mika mika-a-mika me ke kahe o ka hau. ʻO nā mea kupaianaha nui loa e iho i lalo i ka papa mauna mauna pololei e ʻoki ana i nā mea āpau ma hope. Noho mau nā awāwa ʻo Gigantic i mea e hōʻoia ai i ko lākou hiki, e hana ana i kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona i ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Nuzilani, e laʻa me Milford Sound.
ʻO Franz Josef
ʻO Franz Josef a me Fox Glacier paha nā mea nui ʻelua o ka lehulehu hau o Nūhōlani akā hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā mea ʻē aʻe ma ʻō a ʻō o ka lāhui mai ka mauna ʻo Ruapehu a i Mt Tasman. E haʻi ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo New Zealand kahi home o nā hau hau ma mua o 3,000! ʻO kekahi o ia mau mea, loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o ka manawa kūpono e noiʻi ai i loko o lākou.
ʻO kekahi o nā loko iʻa maʻamau ʻoi loa o ka honua ka nui o ka hau hau, a haʻi ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki i Niu Sila ke hoʻonani iā lākou. Loaʻa ka hapa nui o nā pale hau ma ka Mokupuni Hema, e like me Rob Roy Glacier, Fox Glacier a me Franz Joseph Glacier. ʻIke ʻia kēia mau hana mana ʻekolu ma ke ʻano he mau pepa hau kupaianaha loa o Nūhōlani.
I ke ao o nā pale hau, ʻo Franz Josef kekahi mea o ka meʻe.
E hui me Franz Josef Glacier, a i ʻole, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma nā kaʻao moʻomeheu Māori kokoke, ʻo Kā Roimata ō Hine Hukatere (nā waimaka paʻa o Hine Hukatere).
Mai kona aʻa kiʻekiʻe ma nā Alps Hema, ua komo ʻo ka Franz Josef Glacier (Kā Roimata ō Hine Hukatere) i loko o ka ululāʻau uluwehi o ka National Park o Westland. Hana ʻia kēia plunge mai kahi kiʻekiʻe o 3,000m ma luna o ka pae kai a hiki i 240m ma kahi hoʻokaʻawale o 11km, a ʻo ia paha ka ʻāpana hau ʻoi loa i ka lāhui.
Hoʻoneʻe wikiwiki ia ma mua o kāu pepa hau maʻamau ma luna o 50cm i kēlā me kēia lā, ʻoiai ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā wikiwiki a hiki i ʻehā mau mika no kēlā me kēia lā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā wahi hāʻule hau.
Hana kēia i kekahi mau mea nui kupaianaha i ka nui hau, no ka laʻana, nā ana hau, nā lua, nā serac a me nā pali; e hōʻike mau nei i nā hōʻailona o ka loli a me ka holomua ʻana no laila ʻaʻohe like o nā lā ʻelua. Hele ka mea kōkua iā mākou ma waena o ka ʻāina e hoʻohana ana i kā lākou hatchet hau e ʻike ai i nā hiʻohiona hau e ʻike nui ʻia a me ka papa piʻi kūpaʻa loa.
Manaʻo nā Glaciologists ʻo Franz Josef he 'demigod' i ka mālamalama o kēia mau loli a ʻoi aʻe ma ke kumu e loaʻa koke ka ʻili hau i kahi waiho ʻana ma kahi ulu lāʻau haʻahaʻa. E haʻi ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia ka piʻi maka maka liʻiliʻi loa o kekahi ʻāpana hau e kahe ana i loko o kahi ululāʻau mālie ma ka honua - he mea maʻamau ʻole ia.
He aha hou aʻe, hāʻawi kēia mau kikowaena i kahi ākea o nā ala piʻi. A laila, hāʻawi mākou iā ʻoe i ka ʻikepili hou aʻe e pili ana i nā pale hau ʻekolu i kuhikuhi ʻia ma mua.
Fox Glacier
ka Fox Glacier ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea i kaulana nui loa ma NZ a nona kēia inoa i ka mahalo i ke Kuhina Nui William Fox i ka 1872. Ma kahi maikaʻi, ma kahi o 1.000 mau kānaka e kipa mau aku iā ia.
Loaʻa ka pale hau i nā hola 4 mai Wanaka. He mau mika ka mamao, hiki iā ʻoe ke mahalo i ka loko i kī ʻia i ka lāhui, ʻo ka Lake Matheson. He maikaʻi ia ke hele a puni ke aniani.
Pēlā nō, hoʻonui ʻia ʻo 13 Km ka lōʻihi a aia nō ia i ka National Park o Westland Tai Poutini.
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manawa kūpono e kipa aku ai i ka pale hau, kēnā aku mākou iā ʻoe e hana: piʻi i nā alaloa; kipa aku ʻo ka helikopa e ʻike i nā ana hau, nā pahu kai a me nā kahawai; kipa Lake Matheson ma o kahi ala hele wāwae (1 hola 30 min); lele i ka parachute a nānā i nā Alps Hema, ka pepa hau a me ka Mount Cook; a mahalo i ka pō i ke kahakai ʻo Gillespies.
ʻO Burglarize Roy Glacier
Aia kēia nuipa hau i Mount Aspiring National Park, ka paka nui loa ma New Zealand. He tona tona o nā kuahiwi, nā pale hau, nā bluffs, nā loko, a pēlā aku.
Pono mākou e hōʻike iā ʻoe aia ka Rob Roy Glacier Track, kahi papa o 3-4 mau hola a me ka pae maʻalahi. I ka wā o ke kipa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa a nānā i nā pāheʻe liʻiliʻi a me nā hoʻolālā honua.
He aha hou aʻe, pono ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo i nā manaʻo i hele pū ʻia: hiki i kahi hāʻule ke loaʻa nā hopena maoli; ke aniani kū ʻole i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki; a me nā pāheʻe nui ma waena o Mei a me Nowemapa. Me ke kanalua ʻole, pono ʻoe e komo i ka lole kūpono a me nā kāmaʻa e noho kaʻawale ai i nā pilikia.
I ka hopena, hilinaʻi mākou hauʻoli ʻoe i ka nānā ʻana i kēia ʻatikala e pili ana i ka lehulehu hau hau o Nūhōlani a lawe i kekahi mea e pili ana i ka lāhui.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Fox Glacier, i loko o nā wahi ma lalo o ka Alps Hema, ma hope o ke Kuhina Nui o Nūhōlani mai 1869 - 1872, ʻo Sir William Fox. ʻO ke kaona kokoke i ka hau hau paʻa i kahi inoa like. Ma kahi kaʻawale he 30 mau manawa e haʻalele iā Franz Josef Glacier, aia ma kahi o ka World Heritage a kapa ʻia ka inoa ma hope o ka Emperor Austrian. He hele maʻalahi ia i nā essences terminal o nā pale hau ʻelua, akā inā ʻoe ma hope o kahi ʻike kokoke i kahi huakaʻi hau a alakaʻi a i ʻole piʻi piʻi heli e ʻōlelo ʻia.
ʻO ka pepa hau nui ma Nūhōlani, ʻo Tasman Glacier, he 27km ka lōʻihi a uhi i kahi ʻāina o 101 mau kilomika kuea, e noho ana ma lalo o ko mākou mauna kiʻekiʻe loa - Mount Cook. Hoʻoikaika ka Tasman Glacier e hoʻomohala koke nei i ka loko iʻa e noiʻi e ka moku; e hālāwai me nā papa hau o kēlā me kēia ʻano a me ka nui.
Kākau
E hōʻea i ka Fox a me Franz Josef Glaciers, he kalaiwa ʻekolu ia mai Wanaka a i ʻole 3 mau hola mai Queenstown. ʻO kahi koho kupaianaha e noʻonoʻo ai ʻo ka lawe ʻana i ke kaʻaahi TranzAlpine mai Christchurch a Greymouth, hoʻolimalima i kahi kaʻa ma Greymouth a laila e ʻimi nei i ke Komohana Komohana ʻoiai ke neʻe nei i ka lehulehu hau. ʻAʻole kēia he huakaʻi kaʻaahi maʻamau - e hele holoholo ana ma nā piko o nā Alps Hema, he huakaʻi kupaianaha loa ia mai ka East Coast a i ke Komohana Komohana o ka South Island.
ʻOiai ʻo Tasman Glacier e moe ana ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka Southern Alps iā Fox a me Franz Josef icy masses, ʻo ke ala maʻalahi loa e hōʻea pū me kahi 4.5-hola kaʻa mai Christchurch.
