Radošca / Radoshitza Cave, Day 46
Discovery of the Collapse

June 21, 2017, 17 pictures

          Most images are approximately 683 x 1024 pixels in size, numbers in front of picture descriptions are serial numbers of the original photo files. Event participants who all contributed to the making of these pictures; Janez Kanoni - Žan, Metod Di Batista, Marjan Baričič, Rok Brajkovič - Brajko, Jure Trenz, Marjan Juvan - Manč, Nataša and Jernej Petrovčič - Jerko, Matej Blatnik - who determined the flower in the picture 35857.
          Due to a play of unfavorable circumstances the photographer could not descend into the cave to document the latest discovery - Metod and Marjan, today's excavation team, have hit the zone of loosely connected rocks. The tunnel, so far dug into solid stone, has now reached the collapse, with a promise of larger space and easier digging.
