Amen to all you said. For those of us lucky enough to have known Bob, he left a
huge footprint on our lives. Although saddened by his passing, our memories of
him will keep us laughing and living with him by our sides forever.
Great life Bob, and an even better beyond:)

I have caved with Bob many many times in the past years, and listened to his
fantastic stories from his life in the Air Force. All wonderful memories of a
good friend.

I expect this will happen anyway, but as soon as someone learns of the funeral
details please post them ASAP. I was coming to San Antonio this week for work
and will head there sooner if needed to attend the services. I've known Bob for
30 years. It wasn't long enough.

I heard that Bob died this morning. We should all celebrate his life by going
caving, cooking something delicious, drinking a tasty irish beverage and
telling tales of adventure into the night.
Bob was one of the most truly ethical people I have ever met!
Always there when people (or animals) needed help.
We should all strive to be more like Bob Cowell.

Cannot say more emphatically - Bob was a good man.
What our tentative hold on life does to us - is truly unjust.

Am I understanding correctly the recent annoucement by British
researchers studying Antartica that there is an enormous system of
underwater
tunnels under the floating ice sheets of Antartica ?
Or,
Are they implying that there is an enormous layer of water such as a lake,
and
that in that lake there is a concretrated flow of water along a particular
path, such
as in a lake channel ?
Either way, isn't it still a cavern ?

The photo-link below shows wing-suit pioneer, Jeb Corliss, about to check
out some cave entrances ( rock shelters ? ) in the side of a cliff:
https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/598632_613259112050379_395002478_n.jpg
( click on that photo to enlarge it )
If you freeze this video below at 3:50 and 4:11, you can see passing the
potential cave entrances in the gap between the 2 large rock pinnacles:

Somebody needs to send some drones up there to check those out.

There is some kind of building on top, so maybe there is already a walkway
up there ?
This is in eastern China, and the stunt took place a few days ago.
