新素材 洞穴救援 NANNING, Feb. 26—Two Chinese scientists were rescued(救援) from a karst cave following a 69-hour search.
On Feb. 5, a scientific research team entered a karst cave in Baise, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Five members of the team dived to photograph rare cave fish in the underwater caves, but on their return at 7 p.m., two team members, both surnamed Zhou, were found to be missing.
After receiving the call for help from their teammates, a joint rescue team of 13 divers, police, firefighters, and doctors was quickly organized.
The cave appears like a large hall but narrows deeper inside. It contains air pockets—spaces with water below and air above, according to Liang Liang, a rescue officer. “The complex environment was unknown to us, which was the biggest challenge,” he said. Visibility(能见度) was limited to just 3 metres, forcing rescuers to use portable(携带的) lights. With water depths reaching 18 metres, rescuers used five 200-metre reels(线轮) to lay guide ropes from the cave entrance into the water. They also needed boats to stay on the water.
“The exact places of the lost members were unclear, and we could only hear the sound of knocking on the rock walls, to find a general direction,” said Xu Shide, a diver.
The elder Zhou was found at 4:30 a.m. on Feb. 6, in an air pocket 16 metres below the water surface and about 300 metres from the cave entrance. After 90 minutes of further efforts, he was finally outside the cave.
Xu Shide said the younger Zhou was trapped much deeper, so they scanned more than 10 underwater air pockets.
Fortunately, around 6:50 p.m. on February 8, they discovered younger Zhou waving his hand in another air pocket 28 metres deep and about 500 metres from the entrance. When Zhou was rescued at around 8:30 p.m., he was so weak after three days without food.
“The team was professional, with cave rescue skills and advanced equipment,” said Tang Junwen, a cave diver and trainer with the Ministry of Emergency Management. “Plus, these caves weren't completely enclosed, allowing lost people to find breathable air pockets.”
Rescuers warned that getting lost is a major risk of cave exploration. Proper preparation, including plenty of food and communication tools, is important before entering caves. Explorers should also have outdoor survival experience.
