Description
Morphology
Quite a spectacular set of fissures, formed by five parallel fractures running S – N and with respective openings to the outside, which have been crossed and joined at their ends by another orthogonal one of greater vertical development that at its upper part opens to the outside in the form of a pit. The set has a 270-metre route.
Other details
These are large crevices that, seen from afar, with enough perspective, look like a handful of books arranged vertically, as if it were a bookcase.
History
A cavity that had remained unpublished in speleological catalogues until it was explored in early 1997 by members of the AAEET de Valls during the search for another neighbouring cavity; they named it avenc de la Junça, a name corresponding to the toponym of the area, although this specific place is more popularly known as La Llibreria.
