caves on Mars in 2007) is looking for help on a couple of cave
projects in South America. Contact Jut at [email protected] if you are

Cultural and Natural History of Rapa Nui Caves Project seeks
volunteers. Fieldwork will be executed from 25 June through 18 July
2009. We prefer volunteers who can commit to the entire expedition;
however, if this is not possible, the expedition is divided into two
sessions for participation: 25 June – 06 July and 05 – 19 July. Must
also be First Aid/ CPR certified and must have passed a physical
within the last year. Participants are responsible for airfare from
the U.S. to Easter Island, Chile (~2000.00USD), hotel accommodations
(@ 58.00 USD/ day includes 3 meals/ day), and sharing costs for rental
vehicles (~250.00 USD/ per person). All flights to Rapa Nui are routed
through Santiago,Chile. Field objectives include: (a) inventory of
arthropods using an array of sampling techniques; (b) collecting
microbial samples; and, (c) evaluating cultural significance of study
caves. To learn more about this project, you may go to a summary of
last year's research http://www.explorers.org/expeditions/reports/Flag_Reports_PDF/Flag%2052_J.%20Judson%20Wynne_Napa_Rui%202_19_09.pdf
