![]() ![]() I decided that I was going to go look for it. I had a bunch of time off I needed to use before the end of the year. On November 19th, 2021, a Friday, I had the day off work. No one seemed to be talking about the location or how I could find it. Another article posted a year after the tragedy says that "a sensor later measured the oxygen concentration at only 19 percent." However this leads one to question, why were the levels so low after oxygen was pumped into the cave? Perhaps it wasn't pumped in long enough before the bodies were discovered.Īfter reading about the tragedy at Gollum's Cave, and learning that the location was less than a mile from where I live, I decided to do some research and see if I could find out where it was. The friends would have then made an attempt, with less oxygen than normal, to swim back through the passage, at which point the lead person may have passed out or become disoriented, and blocked the underwater passage for the rest. It can be poisonous, but if not it can still prevent oxygen from occupying the space. Others speculate that the friends submerged from the pool and were greeted by a room full of bad air which can sometimes gather in caves. Some speculate that they brought the candles, and lit them in the cavern which then burned up the oxygen leaving them without air. Search and rescue found a few candles (one source says a few were lit) in the far cavern, and two flash lights in the water tunnel, but were unsure if they belonged to the friends or previous visitors. ![]()
