AREA 35: Meo Vac North - Xa Thueng Phung
PB1:
Italians cave
Development: 201 m
Denivelation: -47 m
This cave was visited by Italian cavers in 1997. It is a big porch next
to the road from Dong Van to
Meo Vac and about 6 km from Dong Van. A small river disappears in the
entrance of the cave. A
large gallery with some passages down blocks ends after 200 m in a
sump. The water reappears just
before the sump. We measured the cave since the data of the Italians
seem to be inaccessible. It is
interesting to note that the cave develops in the south west west
direction. This means that it does not
develop in the direction of the nearby Nho Que river.
