<h1>Altausseer See north shore vauclusian risings</h1>

|
<p>A walk around Altausseer See reveals few streams flowing in to the lake,
|
|
|
|
|
but a sizeable river flowing out, fuelling speculation that there were
|
|
|
|
|
one or more underwater risings in the lake. CUCC were told that an area
|
|
|
|
|
along the northern edge of the lake, below the cliffs of Steinwand, did
|
|
|
|
|
not freeze over in winter, despite the rest of the lake being fit for
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
skating and curling for most of the season.</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>This part of the lake was dived by John Cordingley, Andy Goddard, Mike
|
|
|
|
|
Thomas and Phil Murphy, members of the Cave Diving Group, in 1989. The dives
|
|
|
|
|
were most notable for the discovery of a body and recovery of a right
|
|
|
|
|
humerus, belonging to someone who had drowned in 1955, but the source of the
|
|
|
|
|
water was also found. Water rises in many tiny blowholes in a 30m square
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
area at a depth of -36m, each blowing up sand up to 1.5m above the lake bed.</p>

<p>Further dives by CDG with Hubert Gaisberger and Wolfgang Gasperl (divers
|
|
|
|
|
from the local fire brigade) revealed no way into the system, but did
|
|
|
|
|
recover the foot belonging to the leg. The very hung-over group also had
|
2004-04-30 22:56:57 +01:00
|
|
|
great fun with the fire-brigade's big red speedboat.</p>

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<p>Although one of the divers suggested the name "Rancid dead person
|
|
|
|
|
spring", it seems more appropriate to use "Steinwandquelle", as suggested
|

by John Cordingley.</p>
