Description

Morphology

Pit-fissure almost parallel to the previous one and only 2 m from it. Entrance 6 x 1 m; depth 6 m. At the bottom, a lateral collapse opens a small chamber 1.5 m by 5 m, 2.5 m high.

Other details

Absorbing cavity with snow at the bottom; snow is preserved in the small chamber at the bottom. Cavity of chemoclastic origin, without modification by gravitational erosion. Perhaps the widening at the bottom is also due to the presence of the small internal snowfield.
