Description
Morphology
A pretty snow pit opening at the foot of a rock wall and corresponding to the confluence of several lapiaz meanders. The pit is blocked at -4 m by snow and blocks, but a passage exists in the north wall; a window opens into a low chamber measuring 3 m x 2 m x 1 m, entirely filled with blocks detached from the walls by frost shattering.
