Infern d'en Martí

We have a record that the first exploration was carried out by members of GES – CMB in July 1959, remaining unpublished and attributing to it a depth of 15 m. Years later it was re-explored by C. Ribera, M. Canals and R. Viñas (ERE – CEC) on 31 January 1968, including a very brief note in their publication on the sector (1970). We do not know whether it has been visited again subsequently. The fact is that nothing more has ever been heard of it. Since 2014, the colleagues of the espeleodijous have made countless attempts to locate it without result. Finally, with information from local people, they made two more sweeps during August 2019 and were able to locate what everything suggests had been the pit, totally covered by a pile of blocks of considerable dimensions.

Note from Espeleoíndex: In the book “La Fou de Bor i cavitats de l'Alta Vall del Segre” (1970), a photograph appears (photo 44) showing a caver ascending (or descending) a magnificent pit with an elektron. The caption says: Entrada de l'Infern d'en Martí. We have a feeling that this caption is erroneous and that in reality the photograph could correspond to the Forat de les Gralles, also in Bellver, just like the previous one, number 43.
