Uncovering the mysteries of our underground world
Everyday explorations. Daily suprises.

News from the underground
The Ice cave Dol above Col. 18-06-2007
We returned in the ice cave, to continue the exploration of the meander that we widened last week.
This time our group was larger, but the progression to the beginning of the abyss was still slow, the passage in the meander remains very uncomfortable.
We explored the cave till there was not enough rope, in the gallery you can feel a strong air flow, the cave widens more and more and the abysses are deeper.
We've measured the polygon, the cave is now 150 meters long and 60 meters deep.
Caving: Bogomir, Robert, Robin and Klemen from the club of Ajdovščina, with Stojan and Claudio.
The Ice cave Dol above Col. 11-06-2007
This time it all went as expected, we've begun the widening and after an hour of work we found ourselves in front of an abyss.
Sadly we had no equipment for further progression. This time the air flow was particularly strong. We didn't have some brighter lights to be able to look in the new widening, it wasn't possible to climb the grade either. We'll continue the exploration next monday.
Claudio and Stojan.
New passage in the Gluščeva Jama. 18-05-2007
After a long period of interruption, we resumed the explorations in the Gluščeva Jama, that is located on the border between the lands of Boljunec and Beka.
After a climb of a 12 meters high meander we have found a window and after a couple of meters lead we found ourselves in front of a deep abyss.
