EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2015.02.06: Daphyrnai Sariang from Umkyrpong, then acting as a guide, walked Brian D. Kharpran Daly and Ruben Cashler from what had been in February 2015 a camp in which expedition cavers were kept outside the populated place of Umkyrpong (25°26'04”N: 92°34'48”E). Having passed the cave entrances of Krem –>Blang, Kseh (25°25'26.8”N: 92°35'00.2”E) and Krem –>Sning, Pala, the team came upon another much larger depression with pinnacle karst to expose Krem Lawan and then to a certain the other side of the area where Krem Mren was found before they returned to the camp (Anonymous [Arbenz T, Brooks S J et al.] 2015.04.03 Mss: Diary 2015.docx 6th February 2015 Friday).
