Aven Melina begins with a 3-metre downclimb, a squeeze, and a ledge overlooking a drop of about 5 metres leading to a junction.
Description
Morphology
The entrance is downclimbed for 3 metres and, after a squeeze, emerges onto a ledge of a few metres overlooking a drop of about 5 metres that is easily descended. At its base, passing a second squeeze gives access to a junction. On the left, speleothem deposits obstruct the gallery after a few metres. On the right, the gallery continues for about ten metres before ending at a shaft choked with clay.
