Геофизическая пещера, Natural cave near Alushta, Ukraine.
The Geophysical Cave is a natural cave system near Alushta in Crimea with interconnected passages and chambers throughout its structure. The interior reveals different geological layers and rock formations that have developed over thousands of years through natural processes.
Scientists discovered this cave system during the 1970s and recognized its importance for geological research. The exploration led to significant findings about the underground geology of the Crimean region.
Local universities organize educational expeditions to the cave, introducing students to the principles of speleology and underground ecosystem research.
Access requires experienced guides and specialized equipment due to narrow entrances and consistently cool temperatures inside. Visitors should prepare for uneven ground and tight spaces that demand physical fitness and careful movement.
The underground formations were built by slow mineral-rich water dripping over thousands of years, creating a fascinating landscape of stone. Some areas look like nature's artwork where dripping formations grow in different patterns and heights.
