Mido (*’ ▽’) No
Typhoon No. 11 (Hinnamno) finally changed to extratropical cyclone in the Sea of Japan yesterday morning.
This typhoon came back and forth near Okinawa due to the effects of "sudden development", "complex movement", and "combination giantization". . . . . . .
That's why
Let's explore the caves well today ww
Change into exploration clothes and wear helmets.
Introducing the Gyokusendo Cave that I'm exploring now, and the creatures I might meet.
I have explained the precautions for exploration.
I wish I could meet you. Okinawa least horseshoe bat, Conjintenaga shrimp, Kuroiwa Kuroiwa's ground gecko, and Ogegi
And a commemorative photo before departure
I'm going! Oh (^^)/
Do you usually exercise?
It's surprisingly hard. It's full-fledged.
Let's exercise well
It's really nice today.
"Go over the handrails here, and go down here.
Pocorn will come out from here ~ "I explained on the signboard ww
I will enter from the entrance of the tourist cave.
The cave, which usually feels cool at about 21 degrees Celsius, felt humid today due to the typhoon and heavy rain.
v(^^)v
About 20,000 Stalactites hanging from the ceiling
The Spear Ceiling, right?
Overcoming the handrails of the tourist cave to the Dekoboko Road
Let's go slowly and slowly at first
The ceiling around this area glows golden silver when lighted.
It was very beautiful like a small cosmos
Some explorers were hitting helmets quickly.
"Wow, it's really dark!"
On the way, I found a pure white and beautiful Speleothem
Do you remember the name of the explorer?
"Cave Pearl (Cave pearls)"
It is a rare Speleothem that cannot be completed unless certain conditions are met.
Here we observe the pre-trained Speleothem
Stalactites, straw Soda straws, Stalagmites, etc.
Columns and microgool
I was surprised at the speed of growth in Speleothem.
In Okinawa Prefecture, it grows at three times faster than the mainland.
I met Conjintenaga shrimp
The middle is hollow and has a shape like a straw.
"Straw Soda straws,"
Well, let's go back and forth
As an expedition walks, muddy water makes it difficult to understand your feet.
The deputy commander flew, "Be careful to get deeper here."
I found a trace of cracks in the water
In this area, around May, a drop of water was empty.
It is a place where the water level has returned due to the rainy season and heavy rain in June.
Everyone got wet and finished with a good feeling ww
However, the exploration so far is the practice level.
It's finally a full-fledged cave exploration.
Take care of it.
Let's et al. Go (`-') No
The explorers said, "It's cold!" "Yaba!"
You screamed the joy ww
The water temperature is about 18 degrees cold water.
Do you feel like it's getting cold?
The guide will take pictures at key points.
It looks like a daijob ww
A smile is spilling from the mask.
This team also smiles
You can understand even if you wear a mask~
The ceiling is also low, making it harder to move.
The sound and laughter of hitting the head in Speleothem
Echoes in the cave
I'm going back next time,
Sometimes they crawl on four and move
Long-lived deputy captain, participating in the cave exploration without prior information. . . . . . . . . . . . .
When you turn your camera, you always have peace sign
Thank you very much
I will pass through the low ceiling again.
Vice captain, serious expression, cool
If the mask seems to be painful, you can shift it.
Don't overdo it.
I think this team can afford it.
If you pass here, it's a break time.
Take a step further, do your best (`-')
I took a break just a little past the middle.
There are many breathtaking explorers (; ```)
Take a commemorative photo for each group with a broken Speleothem
I can't eat Speleothem
I didn't seem to have eaten ww
Here, I experienced the original appearance of the cave.
The dark world of 40 meters underground
The sound of the babbling of the river and the sound of drops were also mysterious.
Let's do our best in the second half of the game (*’ ▽’)
The ceiling is low immediately (; `````````)
If you cross the low ceiling, you can extend your back and proceed.
One more step, FIGHT
Always bright and energetic explorer
Our guide is also fun and excited.
Did you have enough time to enjoy the scenery?
Please look back on this blog.
Peace sign ww in the distance
Thank you v(^^) v
Speleothem
It's a limestone bubble
Speleothem, broken and stuck in the ground, continues to grow
Will it become a pillar in tens of thousands of years?
In front of the explorer
Speleothem hanging from the ceiling
Many Stalactites babies are Straw Soda straws.
The straw Soda straws in this area is more than 10 centimeters.
It can be guessed that it grew over 300-400 years.
There were many kinds of Speleothem.
All of them are natural objects.
It's a Speleothem, microgole like a terraced field.
Expedition is the final match
The left and right walls cross the continuous pool of Speleothem.
I'm going to the dark place ahead.
Commemorative photo at the last big pool
The cold water is the last here.
I was soaked to my neck ww
This team, while checking the feet underwater.
And move forward
Commemorative photo
Take a commemorative photo
That's why I retake it with a rock-like pose
It's cool.
Naturally, it was cooled down. ww
Saiko's expression GET may be the best this year
I was able to meet a lot of Okinawakokikugashira near the exit.
There were Okinawa least horseshoe bat and others flying around and resting on the ceiling.
Okinawa least horseshoe bat is ranked fifth among the categories (ranks) at risk of extinction by the Ministry of the Environment, and is classified as "Endangered IBs (EN)" and is said to be at high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.…
If you climb this ladder, the exit is right there.
Commemorative photo with friends who worked hard
Commemorative photo with a rock pose with all friends
I'm a good friend
When you go out to the outside world, the expedition clothes become heavier with water, and fatigue from exploration.
It is more than 30 degrees and is sultry, so it doubles fatigue.
This time it was held with a small number of people, and only bright and fun explorers were guided, and this side was also very fun.
Thank you very much
Please enjoy your trip to Okinawa after this.
That's right.
Explore the Cave in the Southern Island is holding well until the end of September.
