		Caves clearly do exist, and so some alternative explanations were proposed, such as the presence of sulphides (Howard, 1964) or the occurrence of mixing corrosion (Bögli, 1964).
		This pessimistic view of cave formation appears to be contradicted by the growing evidence from cave exploration and mapping that there are systematic differences between different areas in the depth of flow.
		The cave is the longest in the Appalachian Mountains.

		Caves are found in both limestone and marble throughout north-west Nelson.
		There is an important limestone area with numerous caves, mainly easy and well-decorated, at Paturau, west of Collingwood, as well as significant areas of limestone in the Aorcre, Anatoki, Takaka, and Cobb Valleys.
		To the west of the Paparoa Range, a band of limestone stretches from Charleston to Punakaiki, containing caves such as The Metro near Charleston, with eight kilometres of mainly large passage, and Xanadu Cave near Punakaiki, which is five kilometres long.

		In 1995 during a record-setting dive, one diver was lost in the Pearse Resurgence: his body was recovered from 279 feet / 85 meters a number of years later.

	Advice for Nettlebed Through Trips (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		SUSS Bull 35(4) recounted the now infamous tale of Camp Nettlebed '96, in which six cavers spent a considerable time contemplating the splendour of Salvation Hall in Nettlebed Cave, New Zealand as revealed by natural lighting.
		After any caving incident, it is worthwhile to look at the incident and make some suggestions to minimise the likelihood of the incident recurring.
		Note that the average temperature of South Island caves is about 6o C. The party should camp at the Salvation Hall campsite, which an average party experienced in alpine vertical caving but unfamiliar with the cave can expect to reach about 6-8 hours into the trip.

	NZ Land SAR News February 1996
		Nettlebed is a complex system of about 25 km’s in length and has an entrance in the Pearse Valley at 301m asl.
		An associated group of cavers planned to enter Nettlebed via the main entrance, this group intended doing a "Tiki Tour" of the lower better known parts of the cave and to either meet up with the Blizzard party or to mark the exit route.
		Few of the cavers had previous winch experience and were most impressed by the skill of the air crew at putting them and their gear precisely where they wanted to be.

		The famous Glow-Worm show caves are situated here, and the area is also the main centre for caving in New Zealand, with sonic splendid karst scenery and numerous cave systems, including Gardener's Gut, the country's longest.
		The cave has two entrances, and it seems a shame that the tourist trip doesn't complete the 500 yards to exit via the second entrance.
		In complete contrast to Ngarua Caves, a very slick commercial organisation is operating another show cave in the south of New Zealand, at Te Annau, and charging nearly £9 for the privilege of a visi.

		The air temperature in the cave is around 5 deg C - not the sort of place you want to sit around for a long time.
		There was the cave, smugly sitting in exactly the place Peter had described with bright red slings looped around rocks pointing vehemently at the entrance.
		Given the size of the cave, the rescue squad of 16 cavers, 4 support personnel and the helicopter crew, was compact and efficient.

		In the first horizontal part of the cave there are two fixed 7m ladders.
		The horizontal part of the cave is mainly fossil.

	Nettlebed Cave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nettlebed Cave is a limestone cave located in the Mount Arthur region of the northwest South Island of New Zealand.
		Nettlebed Cave was first explored by cavers in 1969 through the dry overflow passage of a large spring pouring into the Pearse River.
		In 1986 another cave (Blizzard Pot) was connected with Nettlebed Cave, providing an upper entrance to the system.

		This region is well known for its caving, and until recently a nearby cave, Blizzard Pot, in the Nettlebed system, was home to the longest through trip dry cave in the Southern Hemisphere.
		We are hoping to join the Pearse Resurgence to Blizzard Pot, and possibly to another cave close by, HH Cave.
		To get to the cave from the campsite, you walk, stumble, and fall your way along the riverbank, climbing over rocks and along logs for about 60 metres, weighed down with the requisite 60 to 80 kilo's of gear.

		For 10 years I was a vet in northern England, spending the weekdays looking forward to the weekend, when I would head for the hills and go caving rock climbing, paragliding, mountain biking or hiking.
		I also went on several caving expeditions, to such destinations as Spain, Slovenia, the Caucasus Mountains in Russia, and lastly New Zealand (with the Gay Outdoor Club (UK) - Caving Group), where I met my partners Chris and Kris - and stayed.
		I organised caving expeditions as a student at Sheffield University, one for six months to Papua New Guinea.
