the morning of February 26, 2011, cavers Association Project Sebino " organize diving and exploration spelosubacquea a karst resurgence called" Source Milesi "and renamed" The second best 'by the association.
It is a stream that flows from the mountain near the village of Bianica, and used as a water supply in case of emergency, given the clear waters.
For this reason it was necessary to involve several entities (City of Tavernola, mountain community of Lake Bergamaschi, ASL Bergamo, Bergamo Province, Lombardy Region, ARPA and Uniacque SPA), to obtain the relevant permits to proceed. The
spelaeologists Pedrali Luca Lombardi, Nadia and David Bocchi Corengia were specially invited as specialists.
For the occasion the operation will be supported by the presence outside of the Civil Protection Tavernola Bergamo.
Interest in this waterway is part of the research concerning the exploration of the Abyss Fonteno Bueno, discovered in the town of the same name, which reaches 521 feet deep and extends for more than 18 km inside the mountain . The waterways within it have been the subject of intensive monitoring lasted from November 2010 to January 2011, to check the routes and hypothetical spills.
Analysis the captors, after injection of tracer, gave a positive result it just folded it, with a distance as the crow flies of about 7 km from the bottom of the abyss. This means that we assume the presence of over 50 km of tunnels still unknown.
A first view of the resurgence of the trap was taken by remote camera, and revealed about one hundred meters of tunnels completely submerged with only passable cave diving techniques. The cavers were able to detect the presence of a large new cave, and therefore their intent is to continue the exploration looking for possible air routes of the Abyss Fonteno.
will then be transported diving equipment and caving possible to continue climbing.
will be made a detailed photographic and video recordings, in view of a new documentary, in addition to surveying the underwater tunnels.
great trepidation and anticipation for this important undertaking exploratory, planned for several months.
Project Sebino ( www.progettosebino.com ) is a caving not for profit and was formed through the union of four local groups: the Speleo CAI Lovere (Bg), GS Montorfano of Coccaglio (Bs), GS Valle Imagna CAI-SSI (Bg) and Speleo Valtrompia of Marcheno (BS) in 2007. Due to the exploratory work
mapping sources and cavities made in the territory of Sebino cavers from 50 members, it was possible to reach the first major goal of discovery and exploration of the cave called "Bueno Fonteno Abyss," which has a development of over 18 km of tunnels and large areas already mapped (the largest in Bergamo and in the top 20 in Italy for long!) with a maximum height difference of about 521 mt. More generally have been counted more than 100 caves in the area of \u200b\u200bLake Iseo, with particular concentration in the municipalities of Fonteno, Vigouroux, Grone, S. Still, Predore Tavernola and Bergamo (Bg).
The draft study of hydrogeological groundwater present in karst areas of Lake Iseo, found in many local patronage, including the towns of Fonteno, Vigouroux, Villongo Tavernola Bergamo, Grone, the Province of Bergamo, Regione Lombardia, the Museum of Natural Science Lovere, the Museum of Valcavallina the Universitàdegli Studies and the Museum of Natural Sciences of Parma, the mountain community of Lake Bergamaschi, Lions Club and Valcalepio Valcavallina, the Speleological Federation of Lombard, the Consortium for the Management of Lake Iseo, and Endine Moro Services Municipal Spa and Ubi Banca Popolare di Bergamo. In the meantime a kind collaboration with various universities to create specific scientific work, from the information provided in collaboration with the Project Sebino: dating of rocks, study of the subterranean fauna and classification of minerals and fossils.
The huge underground reservoir located, could result in a large complex karst estimated about 100 km, then the longest in the nation, with possible links to the tunnels between the two lakes, Iseo is one of Endine.
