I guess the intersection between the set of people with the sufficient capabilities to do that and the set of people hunting for caves isn't that big.
Is there a registry of all such caves with their coordinates to act as a training set?
- cakemix 8y agoGenerally, cave location datasets are not widely shared. The contents of caves, both physical and biological, tend to be susceptible--nonresistant and nonresilient--to damage from human activity. It's easier to keep the data "low key" rather than the expend effort on widespread education.
- divbzero 8y agoI wish we could keep this cave unexplored. I like the thought that there are places on Earth still untouched by human activity.
- forgot-my-pw 8y agoDon't worry, we haven't explored much of the underground.
- walrus01 8y agoNot just that the cave gets damaged, but they tend to attract people who go in and get lost, injured or die due to being unprepared and not having extensive spelunking experience and training.
