Other details
From this narrow passage comes a strong draught of air.
History
Cavity located by the GEB in 1995; the first shaft was blocked by boulders until reaching a narrow passage from which a strong draught of air emerged. This circumstance and the sounding of the second shaft suggested that it could be something of interest. After futile attempts to clear the passage, a small compressor was brought, which made it possible to open the passage, just enough for a person to pass through, without it having any continuation.
