A newly discovered cave and the surrounding area in British Columbia’s Wells Gray Provincial Park has been closed off to the public, with threats of fines up to $1-million for those who don’t stay away, says an order from BC Parks.

The order issued this week says anyone who enters the surrounding area or the cave can be fined and face imprisonment for up to a year.

A person can be charged up to $1-million a day for every day that they break the order, it says.

The entrance pit to the cave is about 100 metres long and 60 metres wide, and while its depth is hard to measure because of the mist from a waterfall, initial examinations show it is at least 135 metres deep.

That will just challenge some mountaineering caver person.
