The 1985 Indonesia Expedition

---

During early summer 1985, seven British speleologists visited two contrasting areas of Indonesia previously unvisited by cavers. The Baliem Valley of Irian Jaya, is in a high relief area ranging from tropical montane forest to high alpine karst with complicated structural geology. In just over two weeks the area revealed about 5 km of cave, one of the largest high-level river sinks in the world, many large en trances and the potential for many exciting systems. On the island of Sumba, low relief terrain is partially inhabited but little visited by outsiders. More than 13km of passage were survey ed in over 30 caves in five different areas spread over the island, but in four weeks no indic ation of world-class systems was perceived. The landscape and the caves are described for both areas, with a brief look at the history, access and the people and their customs.
