Most images are approximately 768 x 1024 pixels in size, numbers in front of the picture descriptions are serial numbers of the original photo files. Jože Stražišar, of the Karlovica Caving Society (Jamarsko društvo Karlovica) made this excursion possible, and Vladimir Levašov from the Ljubljana Cave Exploration Society greatly contributed to its success. The names in the cave were in several instances given by the author.
