    Unfathomable how pioneers find these places. That first person to explore whether a sump has a gap big enough to pass through underwater. Mind boggling courage and skill.

    Unreal! Oh my gosh, the courage, to be 1400 meters down inside solid rock and have to swim underwater through that icey sump! Then continue further down without warmth. Getting back out was scary as hell. Glad Peti made it. You guys are in a class by yourselves, well done!

    I have watched my fair share of National Geographic videos / movies / documentaries over the years. I have also done my share of traveling because of my position in a previous career and I traveled to53 different countries. And I can never forget all the absolutely wonderful shows / movies that Jacques Cousteau produced and, directed.
    He gained three Oscars for; The Silent World, The Golden Fish, and World Without Sun. And as I watch this all of my senses about me, my eye sight, my feelings, my thoughts 💭 about this absolutely awesome video told me I was watching a masterpiece!!
    that is on the same level of the 3 that Jacque Cousteau produced!! I can’t thank you enough and I wish to God that I could shake your hand for producing this masterpiece!!
    BRAVO 🙌 BRAVO 👏 BRAVO 🙌

    What an amazing group of people. Bringing so many together, from so many diverse locations and while there is so much political unrest, shows us that MANKIND CAN LIVE TOGETHER AND HELP ONE ANOTHER!I am sure this could have been a much longer and more indepth documentary, I wish it had been so. I was amazed, intrigued, and caught up in not only the caving, but with the people themselves.

    I was soo impressed and inspired by this expedition. My favorite scene in this video was towards the end when all of the guys were passed out and dog tired in that bumpy truck decending the mountain! Strangely to me it shows a peaceful part of humanity after such a long, hard working and high energy set of moments and the skills going into this expedition. It's not always about reaching the end of the destiny but the moments along the way and how you deal with those moments 👍

    So finally at 29 years old I’ve realized that if it is going to be a BBC style documentary or a documentary narrated by British people, no matter what the circumstances the British narrator will always make it seem as if shit is life and death even when people are screaming with joy in the background. Also they will play ominous music once again even when the people around are elated with joy all the while he’s telling you that they could die lol. They could A documentary on the birth of butterflies and it will be ominous and all about tragedy if it’s a British narrator 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The raindrop that lands on the Arabika Massif cares little for what humans decide is the 'deepest cave'. It winds its way through dozens of kilometers of tunnels and passageways, passing sights that we will never witness, until it bubbles back up to the surface and joins its brethren in the Black Sea. These places have been there for millennia, and will remain for millennia still. Only the churning of forces deep below the crust, and far above the surface, could decide what really is the 'deepest cave'.

    Crawling through extremely narrow passages, not knowing if you would drown in case you got stuck and rainfall started outside ....
    Not my favourite leisure activity - really.
    I once went into a cave by boat in Thailand.
    At some point the ceiling came so close that the two guides had to simultaneously push against the ceiling to get the boat move forward - no thanks, not again.

    •  Рік тому +1

      The Hungarian language is completely unique, but of course there are words of Turkish origin that we use. Because in historical times the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary was under Turkish rule for 150 years.

I just noticed the tone of the language, and the pronunciation of certain words, kind of like I notice Dutch and German are related, even if I don't understand any of those languages. So do you think the 150 years of Turkish rule made Hungarian words become pronounced in this way that I describe?
