Hidden Earth 2024
Back to Buda
30 minute Lecture|Louise Korsgaard
Abstract
Gunung Buda National Park is the little-known neighbor of Gunung Mulu National Park in Malaysia. Buda has more than 80 km of known cave passages. The Green Cathedral system is almost 30 km long. Since 2003, no one has explored the caves of Buda. In July 2024 an international team of 9 cavers go on a quest to revive the exploration. Based in a remote jungle camp, the team will attempt to connect known caves and find new ones. The expedition is organized by the late Dave Gill and by Louise, who joined an American expedition to Buda in 1995.
