Illumination control, after a tourist comes through the area the light gets turned off.
The grotto with the cross.
In the next grotto the tourists can experience absolute darkness where even cats don’t see anything.
“If you turn left – you’ll find “Atlantis”!,
If you turn right – you’ll come to the lakes!
Spirit of the Cave will accompany you,
Protecting the beauties of the underground world.”
The sound of dripping water is always heard in this grotto.
Titanic grotto.
This part of the cave is famous for underground shrimps.
The longest grotto – 200 meters.
The last one is called “Tower grotto” as it is situated higher than the other.
Exit tunnel. Bye-bye, mysterious underground world!

First!
Beautiful place, I’d like to visit there some time.
This place is the pits
Only place colder and darker is a capitalist’s heart.
SovMarx, when will you understand… it’s not about idealogy, it’s about power.
Absolutely fascinating,
but I don’t think you will find me down there.
( The pyramides of Giza was claustrofobic enough for me.. )
Any idea why it stays cold in that cavern?
Underground in most of the world is around 60°F year round. This is used for geothermal heating and cooling; tunnels are dug and the air circulated to buildings. There is so much contact with cold dirt that hot air cools down constantly.
Waaaaaay down yonder, huh? I can dig it.
Cold, lifeless places:
1. Kungur Ice Cave
2. United States Congress
Exception to number 2. Senator Bernie Sanders, the only living person in D.C.
ER. the only forum I know where one can not read the comments before one makes a comment…
You need to change browsers. I don’t have that problem.
Wow, I´m reading the “Heart of Parma” (by A.Ivanov) now, which bI think it´s one of the greatest modern historical novels and the heroes in the book visit this Kungur cave…
The story is about the submission of the peoples of the notheren civilizationes to the principality of Moscow in the 16th century.
I’ve been looking for an English translation of that novel, but so far I haven’t found one. I have some old textbooks that discuss the Russian exploration of the East, but I’d like to read Ivanov’s novel, too. Ivanov seems like an interesting guy.
Why is that cross in the caves, did someone die or are the christians trying to mark their territory, just like a dog does when it pees on everything and anything it comes into contact with?
