No ('ω')
Today, Typhoon No. 14 (Mannadol) is passing far east of Okinawa, but it was nice that the weather was like a die job.
That's right
"2022 Explore the Cave in the Southern Island" will be held today.
The hot and hot explorers this time.
Yes
, ladies and gentlemen
We are ready to change into exploration clothes and wear helmets.
Pre-exploration precautions, description of solutional cave, introduction of Speleothem and creatures
You listened seriously, Azas
I wish I could meet you~
Okinawa least horseshoe bat, Conjintenaga shrimp,
Ogeji, Kuroiwa's ground gecko Kuroiwa
Then, before departure, all the friends took pictures.
I'm going to go! Oh (^ ^)/
A sister and brother explorer already in tension ageage
Using a signboard, I explained, "I'll go here, get over the handrails, and go to Gwar." ww
We explore "Gyokusendo Cave"
It's different from "I'm sorry"~ww
It will change from this area to a tiny air
The average temperature in the cave is 21 to 22 degrees throughout the year.
Lighting at once
About 20,000 Stalactites hanging from the ceiling
The place named The Spear Ceiling
Overcoming the railing of the tourist cave to Dekoboko Road
Let's go slowly at first
There were some explorers who hit helmets early
Glad to wear a helmet.
Here we observed the pre-learning Speleothem
Guys, do you remember?
Stalactites, Stalagmites, Columns, straw, etc.
I was surprised by the growth speed of Speleothem and Straw Soda straws.
In Okinawa Prefecture, it grows at three times faster than the mainland
Next to the deep water
Soak in cold water to the chest, or in the middle hip,
Sometimes they crawl four and move
They all say, “It’s getting deeper,” and “There’s a step.”
We spoke and worked together.
Well, the exploration so far is practice.
Finally, a full-fledged cave exploration has begun.
I'm soaking in water to the side of the deputy captain's chest
Water temperature is about 18 degrees
Commemorative photo while enduring cold water
The scream of joy echoed.
If the mask is difficult, you can shift it.
Please don't overdo it.
When I came here, I wonder if I got used to cold water.
Even the deputy commander caving in this position
Adults should have been even harder.
Straw Soda straws and Stalagmites are likely to connect in about 2 cm
I hope it will be connected in about 60 years.
I have a chance to see the Deputy Commander Ww
On the way, I found a baby of Conjintenagae shrimp
It was very small and cute with a translucent body.
If you try to do this difficult thing, you will have a little rest time.
The headlights don't see the face ww
But it gives you a pleasant atmosphere.
I took a break in the middle a little past.
Here are some explorers who are breathing
I was also haharing
Commemorative photo with broken Speleothem
This is a world of 40 meters underground
After a break, I experienced the original appearance of the cave.
Nature is amazing, isn't it?
Let's do our best in the second half of the game.
Thumb's up while moving the middle back on the low ceiling
Looking at a pure white Speleothem
When I hit the light, it was shining.
Looking at the ceiling, there are many straws Soda straws
Straw Soda straws grew over 300 to 400 years
There are a lot of fine Stalactites on the big rock below.
Why is it?
There was also a Speleothem like this coral reef.
The exploration is finally final.
If you go down a narrow road to the left and right, the exit is about to come.
Let's explore without worrying until the end
Looking at the left and right, there was a lot of pure white and mysterious Speleothem.
The explorers were also curious.

The deputy captain is soaking himself in cold water ww
The Deputy Commander also cooled with cold water ww
Good brothers and sisters
It's cool with a rock-like pose
Of course, it cooled well ww
I was tired of caving with my smartphone.
I think it was hard to explore with one hand.
This team is also very cool.
Let's take it in cold water.
Surprisingly, female explorers will immerse themselves in ww
Yes, it is common to any team of explorers ww
Move over the last rocky place to the residence of Okinawa least horseshoe bat
Let's move quietly so as not to wake up Okinawa least horseshoe bat
Flying Okinawa least horseshoe bat, Okinawa least horseshoe bat resting on the ceiling
I met a lot of Okinawa least horseshoe bat
It was very small and cute.
Okinawa least horseshoe bat is defined by the Ministry of the Environment
5th from the top in the category (rank) of endangered species,
Classified as Endangered IBs (EN)
There is a high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.
Sah
If you go up this ladder, the earth is right there.
Commemorative photo with all the friends who worked hard last time
I'm sorry I didn't take it well in the humidity.
I did my best to explore the cave (^ ^)/
I was able to escape safely from the cave.
Energetic and bright captain comb
Let's explore together again, thank you today
The explorers
Did you enjoy it?
Everyone was fine and bright, so I'm showing you.
It was a lot of fun.
I hope you will remember exploring this blog.
The guide was Horiuchi.
Thank you very much.
