Mark Dickey was stuck 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) underground during an international exploration expedition in Turkey. He fell ill inside the cave, with Turkish and other rescuers rushing to help him.

Rescuers pulled to safety US explorer Mark Dickey on Tuesday after he spent nine days trapped in a cave in Turkey.
Footage from previous phases of the operation showed Dickey lying inside the cave and receiving treatment by a medical team after he reportedly suffered gastrointestinal bleeding.
Rescuers had to first widen some of the cave’s narrow passages, install ropes to pull Duckey up vertical shafts on a stretcher, and set up temporary camps along the way.
The explorer’s parents, Debbie and Andy Dickey, thanked the international caving community, doctors, rescuers and the Turkish government for helping rescue their son.
“The fact that our son, Mark Dickey, has been moved out of Morca Cave in stable condition is indescribably relieving and fills us with incredible joy,” they said in a statement.
Dickey was part of a team mapping the 1,276-meter (4,186-foot) deep Morca cave system for the Anatolian Speleology Group Association.
