Histoire
The first exploration by speleologists was during the 1977/78 Royal Geographical Society Mulu Sarawak Expedition when 24 km (15 mi) of the cave passage were surveyed. Many expeditions have increased the explored length and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. There has been expeditions to find a connection between this cave and the Racer Cave (Racer-Easter system) because such a connection would make the whole subterranean complex one of the largest in the planet.
