Lukas Cavar is a Croatian-American Student who was in the news for being stuck inside of the Sullivan Cave in southern Indiana for three days and only surviving on licking empty Cliff Bars wrappers. ^[1]

Lukas was born Croatia and raised in the state of Indiana. He lived in the city of Zadar before he was raised in the town of Bloomington since he was a kid.

Lukas is currently a Physics major at Indiana University. He is a Freshman. Lukas is a part of the Caving Club.

On the Sunday afternoon of September 17, 2017, Lukas went on a beginner's trip as part of the Caving Club to Sullivan Cave. The cave they attended is about 20 miles south of the University. As the group started on their excursion, Lukas separated himself unknowingly, and got lost while inside. He realized the destination of the exit and when he finally reached, the gate was padlocked. He remained inside for three days.

While inside of the cave, at first he had to wrangle with his emotions.

^[1] He yelled and screamed help for hours before having to find ways to stay alimented.

To quench his thirst and hunger, he licked the moisture off the walls that surrounded him.

He also found empty cliff bar wrappers that he licked from time to time.

In the dim light of his iPhone, he tapped out goodbye letters to his family.

After the battery died, he carried on imaginary conversations with the friends he thought he’d never see again.

The leaders of the Caving Club quickly realized that Cavar went missing after they received a call from Lukas parents.

The leaders claim to have a rigorous protocol about safety and ensuring that everyone is looked after and told the news that they

did a proper head count.

The leaders of the Caving Club made the following statement:

Lukas was rescued and ate a big bowl of pasta and a left over of le Big Mac and said he had the best meal of his life.
