Articulated cavity with three entrances leading to a hall occupied by snow and with two minor branches, with predominantly clastic morphology.
Description
Morphology
Articulated cavity located in the southern part of the zone, with three entrances, all leading into a hall occupied by snow. There are two minor branches: one impassable after a short distance, the other represented by a descending fissure. The predominant morphology is clastic.
Other details
One hypothesis of the cave's evolution envisages that the branches are set on three joints widened by water circulation, while the hall seems to be due to collapse caused by another void beneath. The subsequent evolution of the cavity will in all likelihood lead to further collapses and to the formation of a single large doline.
