short report Sandkarforschungen 2007
From 5 until 18.08.2007 again found the annual Sandkarforschungen instead of country club for caving, Salzburg. It participated 14 club members ( Martin Franz, Christian Unspoilt, Georg Schwarzenberger, Othmar Neuhauser, Toni Bamberger, Michael Revers, Heinrich Behind Mayer, Udo Falk Stetter, Karin Schwarzenberg, Philipp Zeilinger, Sabine and Tami Bittner, Gerhard Zehentner and Peter Pointer) . The expedition was very successful, the most important news in brief:
cave-Thor (1511/153) : the descent in the northern gulf bay was achieved in 783 m depth of the Black Sea. This is a 10 x 15 m large lake, the deep rubble base of 90 m and 30 x 15 m wide end manhole covers. Together with the highest point of the gate to the cave grows total depth + - 804 m. The total length is 8504m . The north shaft gap is measured from the shaft entry to the absolute lowest point (oblique shaft bottom) 410 m deep . An escape into a parallel shaft allows the upper 140 m not to spend in direct bay. The total height of the hopper is, including the 25m chimney even 435 m - is 10th in the world ranking! (See www.caverbob.com pit / ) .
-Offenbarungseishöhle (1511/666): resulted in a 2-day tour in the southern part of the discovery of the water spirits hall and a 60 meter deep shaft. increase in length 350 m, total length 10552m.
-Gamskar Ice Cave (1511/709): on a tour following the Sandkar expedition was the steep ravine to a depth of 507 m be traveled. After a muddy-shaft 130m followed disgusting Canyon (in the slimy mud you have to squeeze really purely for the purpose of crash avoidance), we reached an altitude of 1210 m in the canyon cut by ancient canyon ridge with tremendous speed out of air. Further research was postponed until later. The cave 9097 m.
- DG 5 (1511/867): the cave was 2 years ago on the hill south of the discovered Sommereck cutting and this year to explore in 109 m depth. Extremely heavy air that is drawn, suggesting more sequels. The current endpoint is 2 loamy canyon on the border of Obstruction. The cave is located on the western Gamskar parts of the Ice Cave.
- Ottakringer Ice Cave (1511/542): was the Eisabbau in a cave about 100 m deep shaft like, made the walls entirely of layered ice. Airflow is from a window at 35 m depth, which could be and where erpendelt be achieved only with expensive drilling in the ceiling of another shaft, the probable continuation can. Increase in length almost 200 m, 386 m total length, total depth of 117m .
- Steinwindeishöhle (1511/886) : Cave with a strong breeze, the input first had to be excavated. The cave is 75 m deep and has a small Eisteil. The entrance opens in the same wall as the belt cave pools (1511/260). total length 123m.
Furthermore, could some other means caves are measured. The prospect of sequels are here, however small. (by Peter Pointer, 9.2007)
