Expedition Cave Photography

My second year caving in Matienzo in Cantabria, Northern Spain. These were some of the photos I took on a trip into Cueva Riaño.
 Mud formations and a fallen stalactite embedded in the mud

Decorated section of passage (with Tony 'Badger' Radmall)

Deep underground in one of the caves we were exploring is a passage named 'Cat Print Passage' after the discovery of what appear to be footprints from a cat in some otherwise untouched mud protected by an undercut on a bend. This was my attempt at documenting this feature as to my knowledge there were no photographs if it.

(the slave unit is 6cm along the longer edge)
Wider angle wide showing the area of mud,
with low angle lighting to highlight the foot prints
