洞穴，是這个星球上的另一个世界。世界上有太多的洞中秘境等待我们去发现，这也许就是探洞的迷人之处。

What is underneath our feet can often attract us as much as that which is in plain sight. This was certainly the case as a love of adventure led a former news reporter to follow a career of exploring and studying of caves.
Zhou Yuanjie has explored more than 40 caves， recording these expeditions through pictures and videos， which light the extraordinary beauty hidden underground. His passion for the fascinating world of caves was sparked when， in 2012， as a journalist of a local newspaper， he covered a team on a search and rescue mission to find someone who had accidentally fallen down a naturally?formed rock shaft in neighboring Yunnan Province. During the rescue process， he fell in love with cave exploration.
He learned some necessary skills before he joined professional cave exploration teams. But it took him time to find his feet. “First， you need to learn not to be a burden on the team， as well as how to install equipment and where to go in the unknown area of a cave. Safety is the most important， and every team member has to receive strict and careful training and learn to deal with the extreme environment and accidents that might occur at any time，” Zhou says. He also picked up knowledge about caves， from rock formations to the changeable underground conditions. Moreover， cave explorers also have to protect the cave they enter. No food and batteries can be left behind. Take nothing but memories. “It takes a long time for cave sediments to form， and I would rather give up a photo if taking it would undermine the existing cave structure，” Zhou says.
People like Zhou have helped offer scientific institutes locations and other clues about caves. Their cave explorations have helped raise the awareness of people about the need to protect the environment. For example， they remove trash they find during expeditions， such as plastic bags or bottles that may have drifted there from neighboring waterways and stayed in the cave.
