Cova C de la Canal de Migjorn

Cova de 27 metres de recorregut al Montsec de Rúbies (Camarasa)

Camarasa • Noguera27m9m

A 27-metre-long cave in the Montsec de Rúbies (Camarasa), with a single chamber of 18x14 metres and a total elevation change of 9 metres (-5/+4).

Characteristics

Location

In the Montsec de Rúbies (Camarasa). Going up the canal de Migjorn, which is located immediately to the E of the Portella Blanca, and at the height of the cingle del Montsec, this is split in two by a projection of the cingle. Going up the right-hand canal and on its W wall, right at the start, is found cave A, a small rock shelter of no interest; opposite it and higher up, at the foot of the old path, today covered by vegetation, is located cave B; further up and also at the foot of the path, is found the mouth of cave C, opposite which and hanging on the W wall of the canal can be seen the mouth of the so-called cave D, which is nothing other than a hole that crosses the rock projection, also opening onto the E wall of the left-hand canal. Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

It consists of a single chamber of 18x14 metres and 3 to 5 metres in height and a small conduit on a steep upward slope at its back that becomes impenetrable after a few metres. Clastic processes have come to block part of the chamber, forming small conduits between them. The total elevation change is 9 metres (-5/+4).

Other details

At the start of the W canal, and on its left wall, another hanging cavity can be made out, being a fissure 9 metres long for which no further data are available.

History

Explored by the CE LLeida in 1966, it was not explored again until January 1984 by members of the GELL of the CELL.
