The Fund for the Preservation and Exploration of Caves (FPEC)
offer cavers the opportunity to take
part project on caving research in almost
non-explored caves in Kyrgyzstan.
In Kyrgyzstan , the caving potential is huge. Almost all
prospective regions are poorly explored or unexplored at all. Cave systems
which were discovered previously require further exploration.
In connection with this we think
that the co-operation with colleagues from other countries with the aim to make
joint researches in Kyrgyzstan may bring good results.
This year we are
planning researches in the perspective regions of the Turkestan Range located
in the south-west of Kyrgyzstan and associated with the Pamir-Alai Mountain
system.
For the time being those
regions are insufficiently explored and that provides good opportunity for the
wide search of caves. Besides, there is
an ancient cave-mine having the known length of tunnels of about 6000 m. The
further researches are required. The cave
is represented by the difficult labyrinth of artificial and natural galleries
and huge halls.
In this regard you are
invited to take part in the expeditions
in July-August, August-September 2017:
- July-August, exploration expedition,
perspective regions and search for the new caves
Maps show the regions for
the planned researches as well as geological structure of the area.
- August-September, expedition
to the ancient Kan-i-Gut Cave-mine and study of the hydrothermokarst system of
the Pobednaya Cave (currently known only about 1500 m).
The Fund fior the Preservation and
Exploration of Caves (FPEC) will fully assist you.
FPEC will provide the following:
- Transportation
- Food supplies
- Base camp equipment (kitchen
and dining tent, crockery and other)
- Individual tents
- Ropes and other gear
- Electro-generator
If you have already
scheduled your expeditions for this year you are welcome to participate in
the 2018 expeditions.
