yeah I actually went to New Zealand to study the other side of the island but
study the other side of the island but
study the other side of the island but satisfy my curiosity I start exploring
satisfy my curiosity I start exploring
satisfy my curiosity I start exploring this coastline and that turned out to be
this coastline and that turned out to be
this coastline and that turned out to be the day that I actually discovered the
the day that I actually discovered the
the day that I actually discovered the longest sea cave in the world
on this coastline that’s only about a
on this coastline that’s only about a mile long it contains six of the ten
mile long it contains six of the ten
mile long it contains six of the ten longest sea caves in the world including
longest sea caves in the world including
longest sea caves in the world including the two longest it’s really exciting you
the two longest it’s really exciting you
the two longest it’s really exciting you get to an entrance and you really have
get to an entrance and you really have
get to an entrance and you really have no idea what’s going to happen pushing
no idea what’s going to happen pushing
no idea what’s going to happen pushing down that next passage

down that next passage maybe the swell is sort of cresting up

maybe the swell is sort of cresting up to the ceiling and you might have to

hold your breath just to go through to
hold your breath just to go through to the next part and you don’t know if
the next part and you don’t know if
the next part and you don’t know if that’s the end of the cave or if it’s
that’s the end of the cave or if it’s
that’s the end of the cave or if it’s going to open up into a big room full of
going to open up into a big room full of
going to open up into a big room full of beautiful formations or interesting sea
beautiful formations or interesting sea
beautiful formations or interesting sea life these caves have some really

life these caves have some really impressive cave formations in them that
impressive cave formations in them that
impressive cave formations in them that as they slowly drip they record climate
as they slowly drip they record climate
as they slowly drip they record climate through time just like tree rings – it’s
through time just like tree rings – it’s
through time just like tree rings – it’s one small piece of the global climate
one small piece of the global climate
one small piece of the global climate puzzle
then we can start looking at things like
then we can start looking at things like what’s the erosion rate because the way
what’s the erosion rate because the way
what’s the erosion rate because the way sea caves form is by eroding coastlines
we’re mapping these caves using both
we’re mapping these caves using both traditional 2d cave survey and also

traditional 2d cave survey and also newer three-dimensional surveying based

newer three-dimensional surveying based on photography we can get texture on the

on photography we can get texture on the cave walls of all these features in
cave walls of all these features in
cave walls of all these features in addition to the shape and morphology of
addition to the shape and morphology of
addition to the shape and morphology of the cave but we still have a lot of work
the cave but we still have a lot of work
the cave but we still have a lot of work to do because with caves you truly don’t

to do because with caves you truly don’t know what you’re getting yourself into
know what you’re getting yourself into
know what you’re getting yourself into until you get yourself into them it’s
