Description: 

The Cavex Expedition to world's deepest cave (Krubera / Voronja).

FIRST UPDATE - 5 Jan. 2007.

Oldo Stos (Czech speleological society) at his web-site Speleoexpedition
Kota 1000 (  <http://kota1000.speleo.cz> http://kota1000.speleo.cz )
generally promised to send almost on-line informations as to the expedition
Krubera 2007 organized by Cavex.  He gave out - for the time being - several
brief infos about the transfer of the czech and slovak participants to
Moscow making a plan to reach Russia-Gruzian state border. 

According to his informations the research in the Krubera-cave will continue
behind the last siphons Podnir and Unitaz, where cave goes further on. The
aim is to follow the summer expedition results and to make the best of the
low water level now as well as the presence of caving material in the cave
in order to pass and/or overrun the depth point of -2158 m. 

The Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Australian, British, Italian, Spanish
and maybe Polish cavers will participate the expedition. 

The 5th january, 02:15 PM: the first two transport actions were carried out
to the base camp site near the cave entrance with a help of Mi-8 helicopter.
Its landing was successful in spite of a strong wind. There is a frosty
weather, strong wind and 2 m of snow up there. "We built a base camp, the
cave entrance identification was performed as well. Tomorrow (saturday), the
first works in the cave ought to start following the plan."
