Caving or search the cave, long known arguably Indonesia. Exactly this activity has started to bloom in the 1980s, when the Union Speleologi and Caving Indonesia (Specavina) was formed in Bogor with his characters, among others, dr. King Ko Tjoen, Edwin Norman (late), Dr. Budi Hartono, and Effendi Soleman. Start from here activities that become a new hobby at that spread, especially on college campuses.This hobby seems at the beginning of its development stumbled didalaminya not merely because of the physical skills but also the scientific aspects. In addition, the equipment required is difficult to buy here. Specavina, when it was also quite selective sharing "science" to interested students. Only those who have background knowledge of science or the likes of speleologi were eligible to join. Specavina as a pioneer when it deliberately further highlight the scientific elements (speleologi) rather than "sport" (caving).
One aspect that should be known to fans of caving is a basic knowledge of geology. Especially how the early caves were formed, in which areas can be found, the nature of the rock, kind of cave, and so on. With this knowledge base, caver (crawler cave) can easily find a cave. Because, they will only come to the area there is lots of limestone.In theory it is. There are many caves in the limestone area (karst). Armed with that knowledge anyway if you can read the geological map, then the distribution anywhere karst regions, where the right destination for travel on an expedition.
As a geologist, he knew very well that the water there is only found in an underground river alias in the caves. He also understood that South Mountain is the area of karst caves postscript is a nest that has not been tampered by any caver. After coming back from Indonesia soon terbitlah book about the caves there, here a charming photographs.The potential caves are still promising, according to the geological map is located in Sulawesi and Papua. But the challenge is that in Papua. In addition to the written questions karstnya broad region, also the "thickness" to reach thousands of meters. That is, if there is a vertical cave (pothole) in Papua, then the depth is potentially beat Voronja Cave in Georgia!
