Today, Typhoon No. 14 (Mannadol) is passing far east of Okinawa, but it was good that the weather was like a die job.
That's why
"2022 Explore the Cave in the Southern Island" will be held today as well.
What are the hot and hot explorers this time?
Yes, all 
of you here
Change into exploration clothes and wear a helmet to prepare everything.
Pre-exploration notes, explanation of solutional cave, introduction of Speleothem and creatures
I heard it seriously.
I wish I could meet you~
Okinawa least horseshoe bat, Conjinte shrimp
Kuroiwa's ground gecko Kuroiwa
Then, before departure, all my friends took pictures.
I'm going! Oh (^^)/
A sister and brother explorer who is already in tension ageage
Using a signboard, he explained, "I'll go here, over the railing, and go to Gwar." ww
We explore the Gyokusendo Cave.
It's different from "I'm sorry," ww
It changes from this area to a shy air
The average temperature in the cave is 21-22 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
Light on the lights immediately
About 20,000 Stalactites hanging from the ceiling
It's a place named The Spear Ceiling
Overcoming the handrails of the tourist cave to the Dekoboko Road
Let's go slowly and slowly at first
Some explorers were hitting helmets quickly.
It's nice to have a helmet~
Here I observed the pre-trained Speleothem.
Do you remember everyone?
Stalactites, Stalagmites, Columns, straw, etc.
I was surprised at the growth speed of Speleothem and Straw Soda straws.
In Okinawa Prefecture, it grows at three times faster than the mainland.
Next, go deep in the water
Soaking in cold water to the chest, moving forward in the middle, and
Sometimes they crawl on four and move
Everyone said, "I'm getting deeper here ~" "There is a step ~"
We went together with each other.
Well, the exploration so far is a practice.
It's finally a full-fledged cave exploration.
I'm soaked in water to the front of the deputy commander
The water temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius.
Commemorative photo with enduring cold water
The scream of joy was echoing.
If the mask seems to be painful, you can shift it.
Don't overdo it.
I wonder if I got used to cold water when I came here.
Even the deputy commander civing in this position
Adults must have been even harder.
Straw Soda straws and Stalagmites, which are likely to be connected in about 2 centimeters.
I wonder if it will be connected in about 60 years.
I have a chance to see if you are a deputy commander.
On the way, I found a baby of Conjinte shrimp
It was very small and cute with a translucent body.
If you do your best to do this difficulty, we will have a break time~
The headlight doesn't know the face ww
But the fun atmosphere is conveyed.
I took a break just a little past the middle.
There are many breathtaking explorers
I was harhing too
Commemorative photo with the broken Speleothem
This is a world of 40 meters underground.
After a break, we had you experience the original appearance of the cave.
Nature is amazing.
Yeah
Let's do our best in the second half of the game.
Sam's up while moving inside the lower ceiling on the lower ceiling
I'm observing a pure white Speleothem
When I turned the light on it, it was sparkling
Looking at the ceiling, there are many straws Soda straws
It was a straw Soda straws that grew over 300 to 400 years.
There are a lot of beautiful Stalactites on the big rock below.
Why do you do it?
There was also a Speleothem like this coral reef.
The exploration is finally the final match
If you follow a narrow road to the left and right, the exit is almost right.
Let's explore without distraction until the end
When I looked at the left and right, there was a lot of pure white and mysterious Speleothem.
The explorers were also curious
Commemorative photo at the last rimstone pool with deep water
The deputy commander is immersed in cold water.
The deputy commander also cooled down with cold water.
A good brother and sister
It's cool with a rock-like pose.
Of course, it was really cool.
Thank you very much for cing with your smartphone.
I think it was hard to explore with one hand.
This team is also cool, isn't it?
Let's soak in cold water.
Surprisingly, a female explorer is soaked in the ww
Well, it's common to any explorer team ww
Overcoming the last rocky area to the residence of Okinawa least horseshoe bat
Let's move quietly so as not to wake Okinawa least horseshoe bat
Okinawa least horseshoe bat flying around, 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 determined 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.
Yeah
If you climb this ladder, the ground is right there
Finally, take a commemorative photo with all the friends who worked hard
I'm sorry I didn't take it well because of the humidity.
Exploring the cave, I did my best (^^)/
I was able to escape from the cave safely
A cheerful and cheerful commander combination
Let's explore together again, thank you for today
Explorers

Everyone was fine and bright, so I am guiding you.
It was very fun.
