Cave labyrinth over 50 kilometers
The rescue mission proved to be extremely difficult. The huge cave on the northern shore of Lake Iseo between Bergamo and Brescia - an enormous labyrinth of underground passages, waterfalls and lakes - was only discovered in 2006 and stretches over a total length of 50 kilometers.
Not even half of it has been explored. However, the rescuers managed to complete the last section of the cave labyrinth faster than originally planned.
