Looking for things you've missed
Meteorological Perfection is not something you would normally associate with underground exploration but on our latest project a specific type of weather is the difference between rapid extraction, knackering 02 levels or a thoroughly enjoyable trip.

Weather Fronts were due to collide which meant a day of fantastic oxygen levels for us due to the high pressure and we enjoyed more than + 3% more 02 than had been experienced on many previous visits. Also in our favour were water levels so going chest deep got me to places I hadn't previously been able to reach before without a boat.


Usual rules apply...No names, no locations, just pictures of somewhere. Please don't ask for locations as refusal often offends ;)

Water level drops of over 2ft allowed me to finally get some shots of these steel arches. I would have gone through them but wandering around in 4ft of stinking, murky water, stumbling over rocks and hidden debris with $$$ camera gear makes me twitchy...

Totally 'submerged tripod shot' from a few weeks ago...

Boats in here for the next stage...:mrgreen:

Thanks for looking :)
 
fabulous pics

I know I not supposed to ask but I thought that I knew where this was by assumning that you had gone real deep south into it but its looking a little later in time that i thought now, and im thinking that im not so sure now:mrgreen: !

keep up the great work and post up more piccies, theyre great.
 
I think your pic 4 is to do with the water drainage system - possibly a place for mud to settle back in the day when it was maintained. I have seen those in other mines. It looks like there's a pipe still attached.
