)Imagine waking up one day
and finding that your beautiful local beach
is no more
—
gone,
its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal
storm. You go about your daily
business
for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is
back, all its glory restored by another
storm. This is what happened on the
island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where
people are
celebrating the return of
the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken
from them in 2005.
That
in
itself
is
unusual
enough,
but
the
story
gets
even
better!
You
see,
another
beach
in
Achill
did a disappearing act once, but took much longer
to return. The beach at Doonagh, located
only six miles away from Ashleam Bay,
was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created
by spring
storms had swept away all the
sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind.
There is local legend that
stretches back hundreds of years that says this
beach at Ashleam
Bay returns for a
short every seven years then disappears again. But
this time around it took a bit
longer
than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed
for a few months at that time before it was
washed away again.
As you can imagine, everyone on the
island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy
beach
back, and even though no one
knows how long it
’
s going to
be around for, they are making the
most
of the time they
’
ve got
before it disappears again.
Some may be quick to believe climate
changes cause the phenomenon, but
that
’
s not the
reason
these
two
beaches
in
Achill
keep
disappearing,
Dr
Kevin
Lynch,
a
geographer
at
NUT
Galway, says that these
occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics
(
流体力学
) and
sediment(
沉
积物
)
supply, rather than climate changes.
Regardless of
what
’
s causing them,
disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part
of
what makes nature so fascinating.
