Modern cavemen
/ˈmɒdən/ /ˈkeɪvmən/
The deepest known cave in the world is the Gouffre Berger
/ðə/ /ˈdiːpɪst/ /nəʊn/ /keɪv/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /wɜːld/ /ɪz/ /ðə/ /Gouffre/ /ˈbɜːgə/
near Grenoble. It extends to a depth of 3,723 feet. This
/nɪə/ /Grenoble./ /ɪt/ /ɪksˈtɛndz/ /tuː/ /ə/ /dɛpθ/ /ɒv/ /3,723/ /fiːt./ /ðɪs/
immense chasm has been formed by an underground
/ɪˈmɛns/ /kæzm/ /hæz/ /biːn/ /fɔːmd/ /baɪ/ /ən/ /ˈʌndəgraʊnd/
stream which has tunneled a course through a flaw in the
/striːm/ /wɪʧ/ /hæz/ /ˈtʌnld/ /ə/ /kɔːs/ /θruː/ /ə/ /flɔː/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/
rocks. The entrance to the cave is on a plateau in the
/rɒks./ /ði/ /ˈɛntrəns/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /keɪv/ /ɪz/ /ɒn/ /ə/ /ˈplætəʊ/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/
Dauphine Alps. As it is only six feet across, it is barely
/Dauphine/ /ælps./ /æz/ /ɪt/ /ɪz/ /ˈəʊnli/ /sɪks/ /fiːt/ /əˈkrɒs,/ /ɪt/ /ɪz/ /ˈbeəli/
noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had
/ˈnəʊtɪsəbl./ /ðə/ /keɪv/ /maɪt/ /ˈnɛvə/ /hæv/ /biːn/ /dɪsˈkʌvəd/ /hæd/
not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French
/nɒt/ /ði/ /ˈɛntrəns/ /biːn/ /ˈspɒtɪd/ /baɪ/ /ðə/ /dɪsˈtɪŋgwɪʃt/ /frɛnʧ/
pot-holer, Berger. Since its discovery, it has become a sort of
/pɒt-ˈhəʊlə,/ /ˈbɜːgə./ /sɪns/ /ɪts/ /dɪsˈkʌvəri,/ /ɪt/ /hæz/ /bɪˈkʌm/ /ə/ /sɔːt/ /ɒv/
pot-holers' Everest. Though a number of descents have been
/pɒt-ˈhəʊləz/ /ˈɛvərɪst./ /ðəʊ/ /ə/ /ˈnʌmbər/ /ɒv/ /dɪˈsɛnts/ /hæv/ /biːn/
made, much of it still remains to be explored. A team of pot-

holers recently went down the Gouffre Berger. After entering
/ˈhəʊləz/ /ˈriːsntli/ /wɛnt/ /daʊn/ /ðə/ /Gouffre/ /ˈbɜːgə./ /ˈɑːftər/ /ˈɛntərɪŋ/
the narrow gap on the plateau, they climbed down the steep
/ðə/ /ˈnærəʊ/ /gæp/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈplætəʊ,/ /ðeɪ/ /klaɪmd/ /daʊn/ /ðə/ /stiːp/
sides of the cave until they came to a narrow corridor. They

had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading across
/hæd/ /tuː/ /ɛʤ/ /ðeə/ /weɪ/ /əˈlɒŋ/ /ðɪs,/ /ˈsʌmtaɪmz/ /ˈweɪdɪŋ/ /əˈkrɒs/
shallow streams, or swimming across deep pools. Suddenly
/ˈʃæləʊ/ /striːmz,/ /ɔː/ /ˈswɪmɪŋ/ /əˈkrɒs/ /diːp/ /puːlz./ /ˈsʌdnli/
they came to a waterfall which dropped into an
/ðeɪ/ /keɪm/ /tuː/ /ə/ /ˈwɔːtəfɔːl/ /wɪʧ/ /drɒpt/ /ˈɪntuː/ /æn/
underground lake at the bottom of the cave.
