Description
Morphology
Gallery along a joint, mouth 6 metres high by wide. At 15 metres in length, with the height decreasing, one enters a chamber with the floor at sea level. An almost cylindrical passage from 0.75 to 1 metre in height allows one to continue to a final widening that once again connects with sea level.
Hydrology
Pools on the level along which one advances at 1 metre in height. At 15 metres in length one enters a chamber with water and the floor at sea level. The final widening connects once again with sea level.
Progression
One progresses along the level at 1 metre in height. At 15 metres in length, with the height decreasing, one enters a chamber with water and the floor at sea level. An almost cylindrical passage from 0.75 to 1 metre in height allows one to continue to a final widening.
