What is it like to explore caves?

It can be exciting, awe-inspiring, fascinating, scientifically rewarding..... it all depends on the individual's tastes, interests and abilities, and on the chosen caves.

Although the term "exploration" is often used rather loosely, I have had the pleasure and privelege of original discovery and exploration, and each of those trips is a unique and unrepeatable experience because you are seeing, negotiating and admiring something on Earth that literally no-one else has ever previously seen.
