Fellow cavers recently made a huge discovery. An underground river that is obviously a missing part of a cave system.

-1-
The entrance to the cave was just a small hole at first.



-2-
These narrow passage had to be secured with steel bars.



-3-
Down a 100m shaft.



-4-
Delicate cave formations. Note that the girl is in socks. We picked up too much mud on our boots earlier in the cave and didn't want to contaminate this part.



-5-
Large galleries deeper in the cave.



-6-
Galleries rich with cave formations

Very interesting place, I like cave shots, as long as they show nice big spaces, the first shots give me creeps, as I have this fear of tight places and passages...

These are fascinating. I enjoy the fact that, with the exception of the first shot, it's all artificially lit and captured well. Thank you for sharing this unique place.

Thanx for your replies. Oddly enough I like 6 and 3 the most.

#3 has the wow factor, very nice shots.

I bet the saying "80% of success is being there" fits here very well.

Awesome pics!!!!

I love shots like this of things you don't generally see on a everyday basis.
