Cave inventory : Lebanon

Lebanon is a small and beautiful country on the Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
It is also a really rich place for caving : Grottocenter has 285 caves for this country.
The most famous caves are the Jeita Grotto (finalist of the New 7 Wonders of Nature) and the Afqa Grotto.

The coordinates usually used for caves in Lebanon are the Lebanon Lambert, however, with GrottoCenter you can convert it to any other coordinate reference system.
For more information about caving in Lebanon you can contact the association Libanaise d'études spéléologiques.

The Underground Heritage Library (Namur) under the ODbL license

As part of ongoing efforts to facilitate data exchange between documentation centers dealing with the underground world and karst, the Namur Underground Heritage Library has recently placed its database under the ODbL license. This allows for automatic data exchange with other libraries using the same license, particularly with BBS data accessible on Grottocenter.
