Cave expert Mark Dickey was hit with gastric pain last weekend while helping to chart the cave system, leaving him stuck more than 3,200 feet underground.
American explorer was rescued from a cave in southern Turkey on Monday night, the Turkish Caving Federation said.
Dickey “was taken out of the last exit of the cave” a little past midnight local time, the federation wrote on social media. “Thus, the cave rescue part of the operation ended successfully. We congratulate all those who contributed!”
Dickey, 40, got stuck last weekend in a section of the cave system known serendipitously as “Camp Hope.
