By Scott Brown
A team of 1) has just returned to the surface after a record-breaking expedition to Krubera (Voronya) Cave – called the "Everest of Caves" because it is the deepest known cave on the planet. Gennady Samokhin reached a 2) of 2,197 metres below the surface, breaking his 2009 record by 6 metres.
Krubera (Voronya) Cave lies underneath the Arabika Massif, an area of the Caucasus mountain range, in 3) Russia. Although the area was explored as early as 1909, by Russian scientist Alexander Kruber, the cave was not discovered until 1960.
The first groups of 4) went as deep as 310 metres. The next expeditions pushed the record to 1,710 metres, and teams, improving the climbing 5) — have steadily pushed that limit over the past 11 years to Samokhin's recent record.
Last week, communication was lost with the team due to a technical 6) but it was later restored, and the team was fine. Just thinking of the dangers these people were facing, makes me feel 7) One mistake could mean getting stuck some- where, or 8) injured in an area far from any help.
In addition to breaking the previous record, the team also dis- covered a strange species of transparent fish that lives in water only a couple of degrees above zero and over 2 kilometres below the Earth's surface, and made a lot of 9) of the bottom of the cave!
Even thinking of scientific 10) __, there is no way that you would get me to go on an expedition like this, but Professor Amos Frumkin, of Hebrew University's Department of Geography, does make a good point: "One has to remember that caves are the last place in the world where it is still possible to be the first human to step on unexplored territory."

Перевод:
Николаев — город на юге Украины, административный центр Николаевской области. Имя свое он получил через год, после победоносного штурма Очакова российскими войсками под командованием А.В. Суворова. Очаков был взят в декабре 1788 года, в день Святого Николая, защитника моряков. В его честь и назвали новый город.
Судостроению и флоту полностью была подчинена жизнь города. Именно в Николаеве В.И. Даль, находясь на воинской службе, приступил к созданию «Толкового словаря живого великорусского языка».
В городе побывало множество русских деятелей культуры.
