The world
beneath our feet is a precious, wondrous place. Cavers, of course,
have always known this. They are attracted
to the challenges: the heights they must climb, the dark pits
they descend, the tight and winding passages that may lead nowhere
or may open up to beautiful rooms never before seen or imagined.
No matter the outcome, cavers are curious and motivated by the
possibility of what lies beyond the next turn. They feel challenged
and inspired by the unknown. Scientists are a lot like cavers.
They often don’t know where their research will take them, yet
they find excitement in the pursuit of knowledge and what they
can learn along the way.
Both
cavers and scientists care very much about conserving the caves
of the world. They and we at MacGillivray Freeman Films hope Journey
into Amazing Caves inspires you to want to learn more about
this underground frontier and to do what you can to help preserve
it.
