Description

Morphology

Consists of a single gallery 6 metres long that remains filled with sediments. The final point, impassable, lies topographically only 3 metres from the final point of the Galeria de les Papallones of the cova del Salnitre.

History

The first data on this small cavity and all the others called accessòries del Salnitre are mentioned for the first time by Llopis i Thomas in their work published in 1953, although it seems that they were not explored.

During the GE Pedraforca campaign (1971) it was renamed cova de la Pols.
