Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

The third of initially five or several shafts and later another four of which the sight of the entrances had been looked at has been identified as a kind of a shaft (Brooks (2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lum Lakham 3). SITUATION 1: Brooks (2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lum Lakham 3) leaves understanding the whereabouts of the second Krem Lum Lakham up to you. SITUATION 2: Anonymous et al. (2010.03.29 Mss: Diary (current) 2010.doc: 18th February) places the five several shafts collectively to the North West of nowhere special and without identified spatial relation to each other. SITUATION 3: Arbenz, T (2010.03.31 cave distribution map: Pala_Ridge_4-10.pdf) indicates the location of the cave entrance to Krem Lum Lakham 3 near (±15 m) N25°26'15”: E092°35'26”: 845 m asl WGS84) and adjacent north-east of Krem Lum Lakham 2 (±15 m N25°26'14.5”: E092°35'26.5” WGS84) and thus 1150 m in a direct line north by east (325 m north, 1100 m east) from from the central road junction in the village of Umkyrpong(25°26'04”N: 92°34'47”E) and at linear distances of 110 m SSW from the cave entrance to Krem Lum Lakham 1 (N25°26'18”: E092°35'27”: 839 m asl WGS84) and 250 m ESE from the cave entrance to Krem Lakham (N25°26'19”: E092°35'19”: 839 m asl WGS84). CAVE DESCRIPTION: Brooks (2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lum Lakham 3) draws the attention of the speleological world to 15 m deep no way on.
