Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance is 2X2 metres and is hidden by vegetation, which makes it difficult to locate. Once past the entrance, the ceiling drops considerably until it forms a very narrow passage with a floor full of pebbles. Immediately afterwards the gallery widens, forming a small chamber. From this point on, the gallery will vary very little as regards its dimensions. Reaching the end, the pebbles disappear and the joint along which the gallery has been structured is clearly visible. In the last stretch of the cavity the morphology changes noticeably.

Concrezioni

In the small chamber there are some rather decalcified formations. In the last stretch some flowstone covering the walls can be seen.

Idrologia

In the last stretch of the cavity some gours full of water can be seen. On reaching the end a slight draught of air is noticeable, circulating through the joint.

Progressione

The gallery advances almost always crawling over pebbles.

Storia

The first references we have of this cavity are from the exploration carried out by the GEB in April 1977.
