5307. The entrance from outside, at the left
5247. The wide but low entrance from inside out
5306. The gallery quickly opens up to considerable proportions, a view out
5305. The main passage is wider at the top, with "frozen" lava tongues
at the floor; a view out
5303. Occasionally the cooling lava filled most of the passage space; a view in
5302. Broader part of the gallery, a view in
5301. Below the second entrance the passage ends in a hall, with the
side sections in form of a bottom-up onion; a view to the west
5248. It is on private property, on plantation and therefore closed
5300. Water dripping through the ceiling gathered in this kettle, the biggest in
the cave; Tikka light in the upper right corner for scale
5255. White sediments pouring through the fissures brought lighter colour to the
passage walls; a view out
5254. A nice oval-shaped bypass passage with a rock in the middle; a view out
5256. The ceiling of the bypass passage with sharp lava drops
5253. Here the passage widens into large circular shape; a view out
5252. The roof lowers at this junction - the right passage quickly ends; a view in
5251. Junction with a small collapse - the main passage is at the right; a view in
5250. Before the end the roof lowers, the floor shows the slow lava
flow; a view out
5249. The passage ends with a small collapse
