Explorations will be in Kammouane and Bolikhamsay counties. The main objectives of the expedition are exploration and mapping  the large Pha Soung system (21,012 m development in 2018) and Tham Nam Kouan Moo Yo (1,684,1 m already mapped in 2018), Tham Dan Makhia (2,026,0 /2018), Tham Kammatan (exploration on 1.5 km and no map in 2016-2018) , Tham Lom Yan (941 m length /2018). Near Nahin locality will be explored and mapped several limestone cliffs hiding a lot of labyrinthical caves. In Bolikhamsay will explore Pha Hong mountain, a 35 km long and up to 4.7 km wide highland plateau. In this plateau is hiding perhaps the deepest pothole and cave of Laos. It only waits to be discovered....

Grottocenter datas on VMap

 Laurent Blum has set up an application to manage caves After some exchanges with the Wikicaves association, he set up a solution to visualize the data from Grottocenter. We wanted the data to remain freely accessible, for this he created a generic user that you can use  URL: https://vmapspeleo.fr/vmap/ Identifier: grottocenter Password: grottocenter

Protection of sensitive caves on Grottocenter

The UIS has just sent a letter to all the federations and to the delegates of each country to invite them to contact the Wikicaves association to set up a partnership so that we define together the data available to the federations which can be directly integrated into Grottocenter and those for which special protective measures must be taken  

Grottocenter faster

Vincent, who joined the development team a few weeks ago, has just modified the code of the two applications (Back-end which provides the data and Front-end which is the one you use) in order to optimize the data which are exchanged. The result is faster page display because less information is downloaded.       I invite you to take the opportunity to contribute .
