Description

Morphology

A series of small inactive springs converge in the main chamber of the cavity, 7x10 metres, from which two superimposed crawls lead off, but they are impassable after a few metres. Another cavity situated above the chamber communicates with the exterior through a hanging opening and through a collapse in the ceiling; this cavity, formed by two short galleries, in turn communicates with another small room of reduced dimensions through a hole in the ceiling. The vertical drop is +9.5 metres.

History

Explored in 1981 by the GELL.
