PREPARATION
Are you going down into the mine? Read through the checklist first, please.
We often say the mine below ground feels like a giant fridge. The temperature underground is constant throughout the year, at about +5°C (+40°F). With our checklist of useful advice at the ready, you are well prepared for your visit in the mine.
