Description

Morphology

Small pit 4 m deep. It is possible to descend to the deepest penetrable point (- 4 m.), where it can be seen that the fissure continues for a couple more metres, although these are impenetrable.

Hydrology

Its first explorers (September 1977) detected a slight sound of water circulation below the deepest point reached, supposing that it came from a possible loss from the nearby estanhot de Tor.

History

Discovered by Y. Besset (GSP) on 11-9-1977. Dug open and explored on 25-9-1977 by the same Y. Besset and F. Maurette (GSP).
