Bolshaya Mechkinskaya Cave, Natural limestone cave near Kungur, Russia.
The Bolshaya Mechkinskaya Cave system extends 350 meters through five chambers, including a main hall measuring 50 meters long and 30 meters wide.
The cave received official protection status in 1988 through a decision by the Perm Regional Executive Committee to preserve its geological formations.
Local explorers and researchers documented the presence of three invertebrate species, including the Crangonyx chlebnikovi crustacean, first identified in 1926.
Winter visits offer the best exploration conditions, as spring flooding raises water levels up to 7 meters, making the cave largely inaccessible.
The main chamber features an annual winter formation of a 5-meter ice column, surrounded by intricate ice crystals and mineral deposits.
