Descrizione

Morfologia

A small step allows one to gain a foothold on an inclined plane. To the side, a widened joint (diaclase) about ten metres deep and broken by a landing descends vertically to a rise, choked near the surface. A narrow inclined plane leads to another landing at the edge of a small pit. It gives access to a gallery in a blowing joint (diaclase soufflante) that becomes impassable. This gallery is occupied toward its middle by a large chimney that rises for more than ten metres and is visibly choked toward the top.

Idrologia

At the time of discovery, this hole literally swallowed the smoke of a large straw fire located nearby. It came out again about twenty minutes later at the blowing hole. At present we have noticed that the hole can also blow.

Progressione

Originally we descended 2 metres and could barely get a hand into the fissure. Considerable work was required to widen the joint about ten metres deep.
