Shannon Cave, Natural cave system in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
The Shannon Cave extends for 8.6 kilometers through limestone formations, featuring large stream passages and multiple chambers with white stalactites.
Members of the Reyfad Group discovered the cave in August 1980, leading to continuous explorations until a collapse sealed the original entrance in 1995.
The cave maintains connections to the River Shannon's source at Shannon Pot, which holds traditional significance in Irish water systems.
Exploration of Shannon Cave requires advanced caving skills and specialized equipment, with some sections needing overnight stays for thorough investigation.
The JCP passage contains 450 meters of formations, including rare white helictites that form unusual patterns against the cave walls.
