Arctomys Cave
Arctomys Cave is a cave in Trio Mountain above the Moose River Valley in Mount Robson Provincial Park in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia.〔(Place Names in the Canadian Rockies: Arctomys Cave )〕 Arctomys Cave has 3496 metres of surveyed passages and is currently Canada's second deepest known cave at 536 metres (1608 feet) deep.
==Exploration==
Arctomys Cave was discovered in 1911, and first reported in the ''Canadian Alpine Journal'' in 1912 by mountaineer A.O. Wheeler who, accompanied by Conrad Kain, (Byron Harmon ) (George Kinney ) and ('Curly' Phillips ), had descended to a waterfall at a depth of about 80 metres, stating that: “Beyond that the going is wet and the exploration was not carried further, as there was no change in the character of the subterranean shaft.” There is no record of subsequent visitation until 1971 - 1973 when cavers from the McMaster University Climbing and Caving Club, Guelph University Caving Club, Alberta Speleological Society and some visiting British cavers explored and surveyed the cave to its maximum depth of -522 metres. Passages above the entrance were surveyed by British and Canadian cavers in 1983 resulting in the current vertical range of 536 metres. Arctomys Cave was the deepest known cave in Canada for many years, until surpassed by Heavy Breather in 2010 with its depth of 653 metres.
