New Lithuanian records of the deepest descents in the caves

On the Saturday night three members of caving club Aenigma Aidas Gudaitis, Gediminas Sakalauskas and Egidijus Purlys successfully passed the last part of the deepest cave in the world Krubera-Voronya, dived through the siphon Kvitotchka located at the depth of 1970 m and reached the bottom of the cave – the 2140 m. At this moment the team is ascending up the cave.

A few days ago two female members of the caving club Aenigma Jurgita Pekorienė and Gintarė Šiaulytė have broken the Lithuanian women record of the deepest descent in the cave. They reached and spent some nights at the depth of 1410 m. The former women depth’s record belonged to another member of our club Irena Gudaitienė who has descended to the depth of 980 m in the cave Ilyukhinskaya in 2003.

The Hungarian cavers' team and Irish and British cavers who worked along with the Lithuanian team though haven't reached the bottom of the cave still have broken the deepest descent's records of their own countries.

Congratulations to the all whose dreams have come true and to those who have been working hardly to make this happen!
