Spanish police say it could be another two days before the woman can be brought out of the fissure in Isaba
A medical team is reported to have reached a Belgian caver who has been trapped in a fissure in Isaba, Navarra, since Saturday.
Spanish police name her as Anette Van Houtte, and say she is at a depth of between 650 to 700 metres in the Sima AN 51 and four to five kilometres from the entrance. She has an open wound and fractures to three toes.
A telephone cable has been in place since Monday, keeping the injured woman in contact with the surface.
The rescue operation is expected to be complicated, and could take more than two days. EFE reports that explosives may have to be used to make the exit route more accessible.
