Hello I'm Ko from
Taiwan.![]()
The summer-only cave exploration is at the end.
We have a small number of explorers today.
Let's explore almost chartered![]()
First, let me explain beforehand.![]()



Take a group photo before departure![]()
![]()
Move to cool Gyokusendo Cave![]()
![]()





The first entrance is usually the same place as the course,
Switching to an exploration route from the middle![]()
![]()



The characteristic of Gyokusendo Cave is the large amount of Speleothem![]()
At the location of the photo, there are about 20,000 Speleothems![]()


Well, turn on the headlights,
Enter the undeveloped exploration route![]()


Gyokusendo Cave is rich in groundwater,
The name is marked with the word "fountain".![]()




In the usual place
Review "The Name of Speleothem"![]()
Tip: Crane, Bamboo shoot, Hashira, straw…Etc.![]()



And go to the groundwater area.![]()
If you walk, the water will become muddy,
Beware of your feet![]()





There was a lot of rain this year.
The amount of water is plenty![]()
The place where the water is deep is about 100 cm deep,
The water temperature is cool at 18 degrees![]()





The ceiling is also lower.
The head has a helmet,
Beware of Speleothem on the back![]()


And sometimes they climb rocks.
You might be worried about muscle pain the next day.![]()




There are various forms of Speleothem.
Why would it be like this?![]()
It's interesting.![]()


Because the ceiling is low,
The height of about 90 cm is very difficult for adults![]()
![]()
![]()




In the middle rest area.
I had a dark experience.
Can you see things in the dark?![]()




We will come to the end of the war.
Enter the groundwater again.![]()






Speleothem in Gyokusendo Cave continues to grow.
However, 1cm growth takes 30 years.![]()



I came to a place where I felt the wonders of nature![]()
Elongated straw Soda straws concentrates a lot,
One side of the ceiling is pure white and beautiful![]()




Here
We introduced "bacon" and "curtains".
Because it is Speleothem made of water flow,
You can't see much in limestone caves with little groundwater![]()


And yet
There is also a Speleothem "micro goul" like a coral reef.
This is also Speleothem made of water flow.




Don't worry,
At the last natural pool
Photo time![]()





In the last groundwater area
Lucky to discover a slightly larger tenaga shrimp![]()


And "Okinawa least horseshoe bat"
There was also "Kuroiwa's ground gecko"![]()
This time, I was really impressed by discovering various animals.![]()


Before the end of the exploration
I took a picture of the safe escape.![]()
![]()
Thank you very much for exploring.![]()

So that you can be a good memory
Thank you very much for your participation.
