SITUATION: At an inexplicable location somewhere in the vicinity of one Mustoh village (note 1) and in an unidentified spatial relation to the twin sinks of the other, second Krem Umbah in the same vicinity (note 2). PROSPECTS: Too tight to enter (Jarratt & Boycott 2002.02.19 Mss: Krem Umbah 1).An impenetrable rift (Boycott, Antony 'Tony') or a too tight rift (Anthony 'Tony' R Jarratt) supposedly emits water vapour (Jarratt & Boycott 2002.02.19 Mss: Krem Umbah 1).
