KRUBERA - VORONIA - New World Record

Автор: zenas@vip.gr
Дата: 22 Jan 2007

UPDATE - 21 Jan. 2007.

We are expecting the official announcement from the Cavex team for the new
Depth World Record. The Cavex website has been updated with more pictures
from the expedition. The latest news from the expedition via KOTA 1000 and
Cavex:

"Yesterday (the 19th january 2007), carrying material and equipment,
Zdenek, Petyka, Spider, Khodykin, Adveyev and Mishunin climbed up the
surface from bivouac in -700 m. From the Sandy Beach bivouac in -1400 m,
also carrying a load, Klimchouk, Provalov and Bazilevskiy set off upon the
surface too. Everybodys tired. The transport bags were heavy. All
bivouacs in the cave except the one in -700 m were liquidated. Today a
morning gale deprived us of another two tents. We found a refuge in a snowy
cave in which there is a kitchen and also a dayroom. Here we can take
refuge from the wind. Digging our tents and an equipment out of snow, we
were obsessed with the hurricane whole day. We treaded a path up to the
helicopter field and transported part of our equipment there as well. In
the Voronya-cave, at the -700 m bivouac, there are Firsov, Sklyar,
Venyskiy, Ushakevich, Mislovets and many, many, many transport bags. By the
evening, the hurricane calmed down. We hope the weather will change
tomorrow. Provalov..." + photos in the original contribution by Denis
Provalov (via Cavex - http://www.cavex.ru ). Translated by Gabo Lesinsky

Thats it! Expedition Krubera 2007 was succeeded in overcoming the world
depth record in -2170 m! Two divers Klimchouk and Bazilevskiy moved in the
end siphon S5 80 m forward and 30 m to the depth. After ten days long stay
under surface, the triplet of cavers Stos (CZ), Medzihradsky (SK) and
Dvorak (CZ) managed to overcome the czech and slovak depth record limit in
-2060 m in parties called "Game over". Each of them is allright at the
surface. There are extreme winter conditions up here: -25?C, 2 m of new
snow... Reported by Oldrich Stos, translated by Gabo Lesinsky, Slovak
