Ten years ago UAYCEF member Chris Nicola
stumbled on some rock walls, burnt wood,
and other signs of human habitation while
exploring western Ukraine's Priests Grotto
cave. In the June / July issue of National
Geographic Adventure magazine, the story
behind Chris's discovery - one of courage
and loyalty through the horrors of the
Holocaust - comes to life. Click Here to
read an excerpt of the story and an
exclusive Q&A with Chris on their
website.
National Geographic
writer-filmmaker Peter Lane Taylor and his
new company, Frontier Media Ventures
(FMV), is bringing Chris Nicola’s
extraordinary story to viewers, readers,
and people worldwide. Currently, FMV is in
development on a documentary, exhibit, and
motion picture film based on his landmark
discoveries in the Priest’s Grotto.

The UAYCEF is a nonprofit incorporated
organization with NSS Project
status, dedicated along with its principle
sponsor Western Urkaine's Ternoplo-Podilskyi
Caving Club (aka Ternopil Speleo Club
"Podilya"), to the exchange of caving
related information between the U.S. and Ukraine
through the mechanism of student exchange
programs, funded through both the operation of
annual trips to the Former Soviet Union (FSU), and
donations
from the Caving Community at large.
