A cavity beginning with a low entrance beneath a slab, with a pit, a large decorated chamber and a large perennial lake crossed by a long equipped traverse.
Description
Morphology
Low entrance beneath a slab leading to a step, then into a small chamber where the top of the pit opens beneath a large boulder. At the bottom of the pit, a large decorated chamber leads to the lowest point at a large perennial lake beneath a fine stratum.
Speleothems
The large chamber at the bottom of the pit is decorated. The long traverse is prettily decorated; it must be equipped with particular care so as not to break anything.
Hydrology
At the lowest point there is a large perennial lake beneath a fine stratum.
Progression
To cross the lake, climb to the right (rope in place), pass above and then, following a long traverse (to the right several AN and AF), descend again behind the lake.
