The story ends well. The American speleologist who fell ill on September 2 at the bottom of a chasm in southern Turkey was rescued Monday, announced the Turkish Speleology Federation.

“Mark Dickey has been pulled out,” she said, adding that “the rescue operation was successfully completed.” The 40-year-old caver suffered an abdominal hemorrhage while exploring the Morca cave system near Mersin with an international team.
