Everyone, yes!
I would like to show you the first cave exploration today.
Click here for details!
A typhoon is approaching Okinawa, but there is no problem in exploring the area around Okinawa World with the sun coming out.
It's a bit hot, but we have a classroom before starting.…
This time, there are a few children, so I will explain the precautions during exploration and the creatures that live in the cave.
After finishing the classroom, I finally went into the cave.
You get down from the same entrance as ordinary customers into the cool cave.
Once you go to a certain extent, you will proceed from the well-maintained passage to the back of the spontaneous cave.
As you go back, it is dark except for the area illuminated by the light attached to the helmet.
The water at your feet is also uneven, so you will proceed carefully while balancing.
You can see Speleothem, which has grown slowly over a long period of time.
Speleothem, which looks white, takes a long time for it to become white again if it gets dirty.
Observe with care not to get dirty.
In the first half of the exploration course, the posture changes when the posture turns around, such as deep or low ceilings.
It looks like an athletic course. (´∀｀ )
Depending on the location, there are places where adults can squat down, so that they can be seen as children's eyes.
Please do your best.
I would like to take a break around the middle, but I will do my best to get there.
After passing through a tunnel with a height of about 1 meter, it's a break.
During the break, turn off the lights so that you can actually experience the original appearance of the cave.
If you turn off the guide's light, you can experience the pitch-black world that you can't see even with your own hands.
In addition, if you keep quiet so as not to make a sound, you can clearly hear the sound of water falling from the surroundings and the sound of flowing.
From the second half, you will be able to see beautiful white Speleothem around you.
If you go further back, you will find a place where part of the ceiling becomes white.…
There are countless elongated Speleothem hanging from the ceiling, and it is called Straw Soda straws because water drops pass through the tube.
At the end of the exploration course, you will pass through a place with white Speleothem on the walls on both sides.
Since no people pass here except during the holding period, it is kept white and clean.
The water area is over.
I would like to go through the sleeping place of Okinawa least horseshoe bat and return to the earth.
When I observed Okinawa least horseshoe bat sleeping, it was finally on earth.
It's another step.
I was able to return to the earth. (´∀｀ )
Thank you very much.
[creatures in the cave]
In this exploration, we also visited Kuroiwa Kuroiwa's ground gecko, a natural monument that is hard to meet other than Okinawa least horseshoe bat.
I was able to meet you.
This year's cave exploration is finally running out.
We will do our best until the end of September, so we look forward to your participation.
Today's guide was Teruya.
