Fort Stanton Cave has by-far the most remote explored places on Earth. Some areas are as much as 12 miles from the only entrance and are not yet fully explored. Follow a team that stays underground for 33 hours and surveys 1.4 miles of virgin passage that averages 70 feet in width.
For more information on the cave and project, contact the Fort Stanton Cave Study Project at: www.fscsp.org
The cave is managed by the Roswell Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management: www.blm.gov/office/roswell-fi...
Caves are delicate and potentially dangerous places. For more information on wild caving, vertical caving techniques, and cave survey, visit the National Speleological Society website:

Derek - a quick comment from here in the UK to say thanks & show appreciation for your posting these videos/the kindness of sharing them with the wider world. Certainly plenty of time invested in not only editing the videos, but also your skill to enter these environments in the first place. Very valuable content herein - not only to those of us planning on visiting certain of these areas, but I imagine your work will also have historical significance in years to come (record/archive of cave conditions etc). Thanks for sharing/giving up your free time to create your content in the first instance. Greatly appreciated. All best Kris (climber & occasional caver)

Hi Derek - love your videos! Can you explain the plastic sheeting and the shoe changes? I take it not to track environment from one place to the next? Do you guys sleep at all on your trip or is it 30 hours of exploring? Keep up the good work! What's the best way to get started caving?

The Snowy River passage is extremely unique. The floor is covered in a delicate calcite crust (secondary cave formation). We use shoe covers or clean shoes with white soles along with plastic tarps (aka Magic Carpets) to minimize impact to the formation we're walking on. We've done a few trips of 30+ hours without sleeping, but on this trip we bivied for ~3 hours. Recent trips have been over 40 hours with a 6 hour bivy.

Most shots in this video are taken with a Sony a7iii with Sony 28mm f2 lens. This is a great low-light camera but pretty expensive for dragging through caves. Shots taken while moving were made with the GoPro Hero 5 Session, but I’ve recently replaced that with the GoPro Hero 7 Black. I use high CRI Zebralights for lighting.

Awesome cave! The audio however, the annoying electronic music upstages everything! Tone it down, let more background mix in and I would enjoy it more.

If you mute your computer you'll be able to hear the sounds of the cave... i.e. total silence.

@@DerekBristol there's always some sounds because there's people in there, as well as water movement. Being a western cave may not be much though. Lechuguilla was pretty quiet when we were napping but even there the cavers kept it noisy. Keep up the good videos.
