Austria Expedition 2016

Oral|Mr Matthew Watson

Abstract

For 40 years members of the CUCC Austria Expedition have been exploring and mapping the caves of the Loser-Augst Eck plateau. Several large systems have been found, and over the years many have been connected together to form the 114 km long Schwartzmooskogel master cave. This year’s expedition ran from 25th June - 30th July and the aims included camping in Tunnockshacht to push some of our deep leads (-600 m +), extending a recent discovery (Balkonhöhle), and reexploration of some old plateau caves to see whether they can be connected to the main Schwartzmooskogel system.
