<h2>Altausseer See north shore vauclusian risings</h2>
<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
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
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
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>
