MERSIN, Turkey (Reuters) - A team of rescuers are ready to start moving an American cave explorer trapped more than 1,000 metres (3,280.84 ft) underground in southern Turkey and will have him out "within several days," Mersin Governor Ali Hamza Pehlivan said on Saturday. More than 150 rescuers from Turkey and other nations have been working to save him from the country's third deepest cave. "Depending on the developments at the stations in between, hopefully the evacuation will have been completed within several days," Pehlivan told reporters. Footage from the operation showed Dickey lying inside the cave and receiving treatment by a medical team. "This is a vertical cave with a lot of water," Agnes Berentes, a photographer with Dickey on the mission, told Reuters.
