Gourgouthakas: A Resurvey

60 minute Lecture|Rostam Namaghi

Abstract

The expeditions that inspired my international caving were the SUSS Crete expeditions of the Noughties and Tens. This year I got the chance to go to the Lefka Ori on the Sternes International expedition and was put in charge of resurveying the Gourgouthakas cave system. Join me for a tale of scarred lunar landscapes, Greek hospitality and Topodroid fettling.
