Traversing through the giant caves of Mulu is often very challenging and enormous drops can be very intimidating to pass. The journey to a field site in Secret Chamber, within Wind Cave takes about one hour from the entrance and involves several rope climbs. Pictured here, Prof. Gina Moseley carefully negotiates her way along a narrow ridge between two giant boulders. The rope acts as an aid to help her across the knife-edge traverse.
Back in April 2018, I joined a team of scientists studying the caves in Gunung Mulu National Park, on the Malaysian island of Borneo. The team, led by Dr. Nele Meckler from the University of Bergen, Norway are working to improve our understanding of tropical climate change over the last 500,000 years.
