It seems that some cavers have gone deeper than any (wo)man has gone before. This by travesing the unkown depths of Krubera in Abkhazia, Georgia. Excerpt:
A Ukrainian team has reached a record depth of 2,080m (6,822ft), passing the elusive 2,000m mark at Krubera, the world’s deepest known cave.
The nine-strong group were part of a project that has made breaking the 2,000m depth its goal for four years.
They built on records set by a previous expedition, which blasted through blocked passages in the cave, within Georgia’s breakaway region of Abkhazia.
Very nice. Most people want to go upwards, and further away. Few people want to go down. I suppose that’s just the human psyche
