On March 26, one of our #ECFlag expeditions, comprised of members of The Explorers Club Texas Chapter, launched from Austin and was in the field for five weeks. They have carried the flag to this immense cave system in the mountains of the southern #Mexico state of #Oaxaca 13 times since 1980.#SistemaHuautla is the deepest cave in the Americas, and of the many thousands of known caves on Earth, it’s the 26th longest at 62 miles (101 km). ⁠ ⁠ Explore the link 🔗 in our bio to learn more about this expedition's major points, including project significance, objectives, results, and any implications the discoveries may have on either the field of study and/or exploration.⁠ ⁠ 📸 of TEC Fellow C.
