ABC's of good summer: Abkhazia, Bzyb', Caving

Hey, folks.
I would like to share russian expedition report to Bzyb massif in Abkhazia that took place in August 2011.
Our goals were to descend Napra cave (-970 m / 3520 m) to -530, progress in B10-1 cave (-50 m) which was found in 2010 and search unexplored holes around.
Geographically we were between two world's deepest caves — Krubera-Voronja and Illuziya-Mejennogo-Snejnaya systems, in the heart of Abkhazian mountains.
I wanted to post it here, but '600x600 px image limitation' doesn't let me embed my pics.

Original post in Russian is here: http://1k.livejournal.com/43705.html
If you're using google chrome you can hit 'translate' and read in english. Otherwise enjoy pics and video.
