Canada's a big place.
A massive unexplored cave of "national significance" has been discovered in the Canadian wilderness. It was spotted in April by a government survey team counting the caribou population in the remote Wells Gray Provincial Park, in British Columbia. The entrance of the cave is 100m (328ft) long by 60m (197ft) wide - about the size of a small football pitch or a National Football League football field.
The team believes that the cave is at least 180m deep, but were prevented from formally measuring the depth due to mist from a "turbulent" river that flows into the cave entrance. The reconnaissance team believes the length of the cave runs at least 2km (1.25 miles).
Ms Hickson says the next step is organising a trip to explore the interior of the cave, which will be a highly technical endeavour due to the vertical drop into the pit and the water, snow and ice inside.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a job for...Super Laser Range-Finding Drone! (Unless the mist is really thick.)
