Was da wohl unter dem Tor versteckt ist? Und wohin verschwindet das Wasser? Diesen und anderen fragen geht der Naturhistorischer Verein Hönnetal e. V. auf den Grund. #geologie #Hydrologie #höhle #höhlen #balve #hemer #Hönnetal #unterirdisch #caves #speleo #natur #kalkstein #geheimnisvoll

First cave trip of the year was actually a clean-up trip. We picked up trash, cleaned up signage, and more.
Sadly there are a lot of etched signatures from 2020 and onward on a wall; this makes others want to add their mark even though they were told it is illegal. These etchings, we cannot work to remove because the wall has not been checked by an expert in native art; so if we did reclamation work, we could be erasing actual protected history. None has been found here before, but it could exist. Which is worse: increasing amount of destructive etchings over possible native art as we await expert (so far, 2+ years!); or erasing the etchings to halt the damage but possibly damaging something underneath?
I have no answer for this conundrum. Conservation is often billed in a dichotomous manner, right and wrong, but the reality is, there is a lot of nuance. We need to consider perspectives other than our own. After all, none of us leaves no trace.
Join National Cave and Karst Research Institute's Dr. Patricia Seiser at a special presentation about Guadalupe Mountain caves at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science January 31. Dr. Seiser is an experienced Colorado caver who has been active for many years, including exploration of caves such as Lechuguilla. Tickets are limited, so reserve today. http://ow.ly/TzLW50MjBIv #caves #NewMexico

Hinter diesem Tor befindet sich eine etwa 60m lange Höhle. Auf den ersten blich schützt das Tor die Höhle vor unbefugtem Betreten. Auf dem zweiten Blick wird klar, dass das Tor die Menschen vor der Höhle schützt. Enge Spalten, Schächte, lockere Felsen und verwinkelte Gänge. Das alles auf nur 60m Höhle.
Wer diese Höhle trotzdem befahren möchte, wendet sich am besten an die lokalen Höhlenforscher.

Its been about a month since Ive been underground, and I miss it. Ligament damage in my foot during SAR is a bummer. Finally getting back on my feet enough to handle twisty terrain. #cave #cavebio #cavebiolab #speleology #biology #speleobiology #womeninstem #queerinstem
A century ago, Carlsbad Cavern in southeastern New Mexico was gaining public attention. It would be declared a national monument in 1923 by President Calvin Coolidge. Jim White, local cowboy and guano miner, was the cave's leading explorer and visitor guide. https://lascruces.com/james-white-and-carlsbad-caverns/ #caves #newmexico
