Small cavity in the Corbières opening onto a vast sloping chamber 35 m by 15 m, whose floor reaches -28 m.
Description
Morphology
Small entrance at the foot of a small rocky bar. A R4 leads onto a large inclined plane, the floor of a large sloping chamber covered with blocks and pebbles, 35 m x 15 m for 5/6 meters of height on average. Floor at -28 m. Presence of a few side passages (-13, -16, -22, -26) that lead nowhere. Very beautiful chamber for this corner of the Corbières.
Progression
A R4 leads onto a large inclined plane. No continuation seems possible, but the size of the chamber is striking.
Other details
Aerology: no air, neither at the entrance nor at the bottom. Measurements of parameters at the bottom of the chamber: CO2: 0.12%; t°: 13.7 °C; humidity: 91%.
