Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to an unexplored cave with one or several unknown cave passages, which eventually end as an superficially looked at cave entrance to what looks, if staying on the daylight-lit surface, like an initially low bedding plane crawling matter [note 1] (Arbenz, T in: anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 13th February, Wednesday). ETYMOLOGY: The origin of the recorded cave name Krem Sarang (note 2) is clouded by the mists which fog the horizon of expedition cavers (note 3). SITUATION: The cave entrance to what commences as a crawling matter lies in an apparently unfair direction just 20 metres away from the ford which has been recorded as the Sarang ford N25o24’17.3” / E92o38’18.0” (Arbenz, T in: anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 13th February, Wednesday). APPROACH: On Wednesays falling on the 13th February of the year 2013, the entrance to this cave is best reached by driving with a motorized vehicle from the village of Moo Knor (note 4) in north-easterly directions towards what outsiders once had referred to as the Sarang ford N25o24’17.3” / E92o38’18.0” (Arbenz, T in: anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 13th February, Wednesday).An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to an unexplored cave with one or several unknown cave passages, which eventually end as an superficially looked at cave entrance to what looks, if staying on the daylight-lit surface, like an initially low bedding plane crawling matter [note 1] (Arbenz, T in: anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 13th February, Wednesday).
