Description

Morphology

A short ramp follows after entering through the small entrance, then the slope softens and on the left a narrow fissure appears that connects with a sloping gallery awaiting exploration. Continuing along the main gallery, dodging some blocks, we reach a small chamber with no option of continuation.

History

The first exploration data were provided by the GELL in 2000.
