Jaskinia Wielka Śnieżna, Cave in Tatra Mountains, Poland
The cave system extends through 23.7 kilometers of limestone passages and reaches a depth of 824 meters within Mount Małołączniak.
The initial discovery in 1959 by Zakopane cavers led to explorations reaching 545 meters deep, ranking it fourth globally at that time.
Polish speleologists continue systematic research of the cave network, documenting new corridors and mapping underground water circulation patterns.
The cave system contains five separate entrances at different elevations, ranging from 1,672 to 1,906 meters above sea level.
Water flowing through the cave forms numerous underground streams and waterfalls before emerging at the Lodowe Źródło spring.
