Trivia
This is one of several short subjects, already in the can and slated for release by RKO Radio Pictures as part of their Screenliners 1956-1957 season that, as a result of the demise of RKO, received no theatrical distribution. In 1994, they became part of the TCM library and have seen the light of day through occasional airings on cable television.

Quotes
Narrator: These passageways often lead to tiny openings which sometimes, even in the best-known caves, may go unnoticed for many years. That is one of the thrills of cave exploring: Finding new tunnels that lead deeper into the earth to unknown regions.

For Those Who Don't Know Which Is A Hole In The Ground

Here's an RKO Screenliner about caving: spelunking as those in the know call it. It's shot and directed by Heinz Scheiderbauer, who made three shorts for RKO and eventually went on to become a producer for Austrian TV. Well, the caves were shot in Austria, so that makes sense.

The narration seems a little elementary, but this was produced for a general audience. The caves are carefully lighted and look interesting, which is the main purpose in a short subject like this.
