Scintilena - English Version

Between December and January the Adriatic Society of Speleology in Trieste has completed some explorations in different branches from the ceiling of the Trebiciano Abyss. The flood of the Timavo has been used, with the water about fifty meters taller than the level usually, to reach them from the dinghies. On www.facciapienadilarve.it you can read the reports of the explorations, see the survey done, and a video.

News from Olivier Vidal 

Dear FriendsDespite the European cave protection declaration didn’t gather enough signatures to be presented as a law project at the EU Parliement, there has been a huge conscientization of the Euro-deputees about the protection of caves in Europe. For all the great job that has been done for the WD66, we would like to warmly congratulate Christiane Grebe and all the ECPC team, because with this project, Speleology has made a great step beyond among the European institutions. All the news about the WD66 are on :
