    Default New Zealand cave exploration

    Article on cave exploration in a remote area of New Zealand. The article doesn't have much info, but the National Geographic video is interesting.

    Those guys are hardcore. I think Rick Stanton had the previous EOL in there from the previous expedition with the same team. Anyone that goes further than him deserves respect. Craig Challan, JDZ, Harry Harris and the others are definitely world-class explorers.
