EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2015.02.05: Daphyrnai Sariang from Umkyrpong, then acting as a guide, walked Brian D. Kharpran Daly, D. Khlur B. Mukhim and Oana Mirela Chachula from Umkyrpong to the west, starting at the village end of the bridge [note 3], to find new caves. … they found a pitch just when they reached the tree line and named it ‘Pothole 1’ [note 4] whereupon Pothole 1 was left unsurveyed for the time being (Anonymous [Arbenz T, Brooks S J et al.] 2015.04.03 Mss: Diary 2015.docx 5th February 2015 Thursday).
