Descrizione

Morfologia

Wide entrance obstructed by a large snow pit. It has a 110-metre shaft; once the main shaft is abandoned, a narrow passage leads to a 39-metre vertical drop and to a meander of shafts down to -163 metres on one side and down to -205 metres on the other, which by means of structure gives onto a 43-metre shaft and continuity in a P-13, another P-13, P-5 and P-7, at -295 metres. A large fossil gallery on one side and vertical drops of 66, 10 and 16 metres meet the contact with the primary basement, where the galleries develop over some 4350 metres.

Idrologia

The galleries develop over some 4350 metres with an underground river down to -717 metres depth (waterfalls).
