Cave inventory : Lebanon

By
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.
