    CUCC Austria 2002 - Mission statement

    + +

    This summer, Cambridge University Caving Club will be continuing our highly successful series of expeditions to the +Loser plateau in Austria. Here we set out the principal goals for this year.

    + +

    Background

    + +

    This summer represents CUCC's 27th expedition to the Loser plateau, which lies in the Totes Gebirge mountains, about +80km east of Salzburg. We are the principal group exploring in the area, which continues to yield new discoveries.

    + +

    The principal known systems in the area are the southern Schwarzmooskogel system, comprising Stellerweghöhle itself, the stunningly beautiful Schwarzmooskogel Eishöhle, and a number of other smaller caves, much of +which was explored by CUCC in the 70s and early 80s; and Kaninchenhöhle, +an extremely complex system discovered by CUCC in 1989 which was the main focus of our expeditions between then and +2000.

    + +

    For a long period these caves were known to approach each other very closely but a connection between them proved +elusive. This was finally achieved by a German group last year, bringing the total length of the +Schwarzmooskogelhöhlensystem to over 50km and its depth to 1030m, placing it in among both the world's deepest +and longest caves.

    + +

    Over the last three years the principal focus of our expeditions has been Steinbrückenhöhle, a cave lying to the north of the furthest known +reaches of Kaninchenhöhle. This has quickly yielded over 4.7km of passage reaching a depth of 368m. As well as its +considerable potential in its own right, it has a number of promising leads pointing in the direction of +Kaninchenhöhle, in particular the Razordance streamway which is currently the deepest known point in the cave and +is no more than 300m away from the Fuzzy Logic series in Kaninchenhöhle. This area of Kaninchenhöhle has a +number of large unexplored leads which we shall be returning to now that the possibility of a connection to +Steinbrühöhle seems possible. + +
