Sistema del Trave, Pit cave system in Picos de Europa, Spain.
The Sistema del Trave encompasses three interconnected chasms spanning 9 kilometers of galleries within the central massif of Picos de Europa.
Scientists discovered the cave system entrance in 1982 near Bulnes village, leading to extensive geological research and mapping of its intricate network.
The Sistema del Trave houses multiple research stations where scientists study cave-dwelling species and document geological formations throughout the year.
Visitors require permits and professional guidance to access the cave system, which maintains strict protocols to protect its geological structures.
Inside the cave network, scientists identified a new genus of springtails named Ongulonychiurus, adding to the cave's scientific significance.
