LUM LAKHAM 2 (Brooks 2010) (Krem)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

The second of initially five or several shafts and later another four of which the sight of the cave entrances had been looked at has been identified as a kind of a shaft (Brooks (2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lum Lakham 2). SITUATION 1: Brooks, S J (2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lum Lakham 2) 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 2 near (±15 m) N25°26'14.5”: E092°35'26.5” (WGS84) and adjacent south-west to the cave entrance to Krem Lum Lakham 3 (N25°26'15.0”: E092°35'26.0”: 845 m asl WGS84) and thus 1150 m in a direct line north by east (325 m north, 1100 m east) from from the central road juncton 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 2010: Brooks, S J (2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lum Lakham 2) noticed a sports caving device which allows to train negotiating a descent 8 m deep down to a kind of a flat foor (sic!), four (?) or floor (?) on which one can train facing the possibility of no way on. CAVE DESCRIPTION 2012: 8 m shaft with flat floor - no way on (Arbenz, T 2012.07.20 undated Meghalaya cave record ”Krem Lum Lakham 3” in: XSObjectsPala.doc).
