Hungarian teens map Hell cave during seven day underground expedition
Three youngsters in Hungary volunteered to stay a week in the Agg telek stalactite caves near the Czechoslovakian border. They crawled through a narrow 15 inch tunnel to reach Giant Hall and set up a base to map climate, take readings, and collect rock and water samples. They survived in perpetual gloom, returning with over 200 color photographs. The cave system is part open to tourists with an artificial lit chamber used as a concert hall and a stairway to other grottoes named Dragon Head and Fairy Castle.
