1 Rescuers pulled an American researcher out of aTurkish cave early Tuesday, more than a week after hebecame seriously ill 1000 meters below its entrance,officials said.

2 Teams from across Europe had rushed to theMorca cave in southern Türkiye;s Taurus Mountains toaid Mark Dickey, a 40yearoldexperienced caver who became seriously ill with stomachbleeding.

3 Dickey, who is from CrotononHudson,New York, is a wellknowncave researcherand a cave rescuer himself who had participated in many international expeditions. He andseveral other people were on an expedition to map the 1276meterdeep Morca cave system.

4 Dickey became ill on Sept. 2, but didnt notify people above ground until the nextmorning. He was first treated inside the cave by a Hungarian doctor who went down thecave on Sept. 3. Teams comprised of a doctor and three to four other rescuers took turnscaring for him. The cause of his illness was not clear.

5 The rescue began on Saturday after doctors, who administered IV fluids andblood, determined that Dickey could make the difficult ascent. He was too frail to climbout himself, so rescuers carried him with the help of a stretcher (担架), making frequentstops at temporary camps set up along the way before he finally reached the surface early Tuesday.

6 The biggest challenges for the rescuers getting Dickey out of the cave were the steepvertical sections and navigating through mud and water at low temperatures in thehorizontal sections. Before the evacuation (撤离) could begin, rescuers first had to widensome of the cave's narrow passages, install ropes to pull him up through vertical shafts on astretcher and set up temporary camps along the way.

7 Lying on the stretcher, Dickey said it was amazing to be above ground again, andthanked the Turkish government for saving his life with its rapid response. He also thankedthe international caving community and Turkish cavers, among others.
