>I wonder if there are any other statues of
cavers in the world? Are there of E.A. Martel or Norbert Casteret in France?
>>There is one of Xu Xiake (pronounced Shoe
She-ah-kur) in front of the Institute of Karst Geology in Guilin, China.
Apparently a statue of Martel was
made. According to this biography in Acta
Carsologica
<http://carsologica.zrc-sazu.si/?stran=downloads&download=schut.pdf&number=351&id=317>
it was made in the Cévennes region of France, but
it doesn't state whether it is still displayed
anywhere (see the Conclusion). Here is
another: Emil Racovita of Romania. His bust
stands in the city of Cluj, where the Romanian
Institute of Speleology "Emil Racovita" is
located.

I'll bet there are others.
