The ten italian cavers busy beetween the 3 and the 23 of July in the Prokletije mountains in Montenegro near the Albanian border are back. This year 45 new entrances were discovered, 9 in exploration, 12 must be explored interly and the rest is already surveyed. The Grotta dei Liberi is passed from -313 to -412 with 745 meters lenght. Two new important caves are in exploration with deep pit and enormous rooms: Abisso della Mazza di Delia is a -142m in depth, and 260 meters in lenght Abisso dell’Ombra is more than 200 meters in depth, and 430 meters in lenght. Next year the group will go back to continue the exploration and add new question mark.

This all sounds very interesting.
What area of the Montenegro / Albania border are these explorations taking place? We are a UK caving club who have already done exploratory expeditions in the very far north of Albania near Lepushe/Vermosh and will be returning next month to continue our exploration. I am keen to see if our areas of exploration are close.
