REDSKIN ISLAND CAVE, 2nd

Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 14/05/2016

About 50 m north of the first cave on Redskin Island. The largest, north facing cave entrance (up to 9 m wide and 7 m high), lies just above low tide level and and gives access to the daylight-lit main chamber. About 8 m to 9 m from the dripline, the chamber intersects a rift passage at right angles, which leads both east and west to two, relatively small lateral cave entrances (about 1 m wide and 3 m high). A fourth cave entrance to the main vault is less than a metre wide and 2 m high. Even at low tide the entire cave is washed by the sea.
