Description

GS Vulcains - 25/12/2019

The entrance is an active resurgence and the river is followed for 400m to a sump. Initially low the passage is more or less straight and in places 1 - 2 metres wide and up to 5m high until after 320m the ceiling lowers and progress is only possible on hand and knees for 12m after which it becomes easier.
