The giant caves of Mulu, Borneo are vast. The mountains are riddled with caves that are formed on many levels. The journey to Secret Chamber through Wind Cave, involves climbing through boulders from one level to another. Here we see Dr. Nele Meckler (right) carefully climbing down over rocks through a boulder pile following Prof. Gina Moseley (left). This is made even more of a challenge as they have to carry all their scientific equipment themselves, including the precious samples.
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.
