The great August expeditions are on the start line
First group of cavers have left by car to Spain where the international cave exploration camp will begin from August 1. The other Lithuanian members of the camp will leave by plane soon. Throughout several years Lithuanians take active part in these international camps that are being organized by De Gracia caving club of Barcelona. The main objective of these camps is to explore the cave system of Arañonera. Lithuanians have found several hundred meters of new passages in this system. We expect a lot of new discoveries this year :)
A fever of last minute preparations took over the team of the other expedition - the grand club's project Towards the Center of the Earth. In this project an international team is planning to descent to the bottom of the deepest cave in the world Voronya and dive siphons located at the depth of 2 km, install water level measuring equipment and accomplish many other tasks. For our club it is the first expedition of such a extent and, naturally, there is much more preparation than usual. Lithuanian expedition members will leave Lithuania on August 8.
