Cannot say more emphatically - Bob was a good man.
What our tentative hold on life does to us - is truly unjust.

 I heard that Bob died this morning. We should all celebrate his life by
 going caving, cooking something delicious, drinking a tasty irish beverage
 and telling tales of adventure into the night.
 Bob was one of the most truly ethical people I have ever met!
 Always there when people (or animals) needed help.
 We should all strive to be more like Bob Cowell.

[Texascavers] wing-suit guy checks for caves ?

[David]

The photo-link below shows wing-suit pioneer, Jeb Corliss, about to check
out some cave entrances ( rock shelters ? ) in the side of a cliff:

( click on that photo to enlarge it )


If you freeze this video below at 3:50 and 4:11, you can see passing the
potential cave entrances in the gap between the 2 large rock pinnacles:

Somebody needs to send some drones up there to check those out.

There is some kind of building on top, so maybe there is already a walkway
up there ?

This is in eastern China, and the stunt took place a few days ago.

[Texascavers] underwater glacial cavern systems ?

[David]

Am I understanding correctly the recent annoucement by British
researchers studying Antartica that there is an enormous system of
underwater
tunnels under the floating ice sheets of Antartica ?

Or,

Are they implying that there is an enormous layer of water such as a lake,
and
that in that lake there is a concretrated flow of water along a particular
path, such
as in a lake channel ?

Either way, isn't it still a cavern ?
