A first 15 m pit leads to a chamber with a floor of fallen debris, while a second 15 m pit, after an ice-filled constriction, reaches a glacial meander where the descent stops at around -35 m.
Description
Morphology
A first 15 m pit ends in a chamber whose floor is filled in by fallen debris. The ceiling of this chamber disappears into the dark, and it is possible that it is the arrival point of the impassable meander of the C90. Just before this chamber, a new 15 m pit ends, after an ice-filled constriction, in a narrow meander, partly obstructed by ice.
Progression
The descent stops at around -35 m in the snow-filled meander.
