Cave Mapping

Cave mapping involves creating detailed, accurate drawings of underground caves to understand their layout, passages, chambers, and features. Using tools like compasses, measuring tapes, and lasers, explorers record the dimensions and locations of passages as they navigate through the cave. This information is then combined to produce a scaled map that helps researchers, explorers, and scientists study the cave's structure, assess potential hazards, and plan safe explorations. Cave mapping is essential for documenting underground landscapes, aiding scientific research, and ensuring safety during future expeditions.
