Useful Information

Dimension

All kind of statistic data about the cave or mine.

L

lenghth over all.

VR

Vertical Range: height difference of the whole cave, difference between highest and lowest point, given in meter.

BH

Biggest Hall:

W

greatest Width.

H

greatest Height.

D

biggest Depth below surface.

T

Temperature of the cave in centigrade (degree Celsius).

A

Altitude: the height of the cave entrance is given in meter a.s.l. (above sea level).

Many other statistical values like size of the area in which the cave lies, size of the floor in sqaure meters or volume of the cave are sometimes used. They are not very useful, as there is no method to gather them exactly. So they depend often on the enthusiasm of the surveyer. On the other hand, the above criteria, like length and depth, are easy to compute from the surveying data. I will not add other information than the ones listed above without a good reason.

All dimensions are given in the metric system. If you have difficulties with it, here is a litte tranformation tool. It works in both directions, but default direction is from left to right!
