Кек-Таш, Vertical cave in Shebalinsky District, Russia.

The Kok-Tash cave extends through 3000 meters of passages and reaches a depth of 321 meters in the marble limestone formations.

The cave was discovered in 1977 by Valentin Mishin and his team of Novosibirsk speleologists during research near the Kamyshlinsky collapse.

The name Kok-Tash translates from the Altai language as 'blue stone', referring to the bluish tint of Cambrian limestone in the area.

The entrance to the cave requires special equipment and professional skills, as it begins with a narrow crevice at the junction of two ravines.

The cave system contains more than ten grottos and eight wells, including chambers named Troynik, Mrachny, Takyr, and Chaos.
