Snowcave

The cold interior passages of Snowcave extend through multiple levels, containing underground lakes, waterfalls, and deep vertical drops within limestone formations.

Russian researchers conducted initial explorations of Snowcave during the 1960s, documenting its geological features and establishing primary mapping routes.

Local mountaineers and geologists maintain detailed records of the cave system, contributing to scientific understanding of regional subterranean formations.

Visitors need specialized caving equipment, including ropes, harnesses, and thermal protection, as temperatures inside remain near freezing throughout the year.

The cave network contains several chambers where accumulated ice formations persist despite seasonal temperature changes in the surrounding environment.
