| Snezna jama (Snow Cave) | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
The first hall in Snezna jama (Snow Cave). We are standing on a more than 15 meters deep layer of ice - an ex frozen lake. These pillars are of about the same height! August 19th, 2006.

Hasn't voted | Yes, indeed. These ice columns are more or less permanent, but they say that there are also times when they melt. I don't know why, but the average temperature in this hall is lowering in recent years.
Thanks for visiting!

Hasn't voted | Thanks, Paolo. I thought this ice is the only attraction of this cave, but was surprised with its stalaktites and stalagmites too. | | Posted Aug 28, 2006 4:35 pm |

Hasn't voted | There are many ice caves in the northern Austria, in Tennengebirge and Dachstein. I guess there must be just appropriate temperature in order that water can flow and later freeze. Klaus (Wuedesau) is professor for this :-) | | Posted Aug 28, 2006 4:38 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I love the ice columns. If you like it, in the page of Peņa Blanca you had interesting images of the Ice Cave of Lecherines as well: Peņa Blanca's Gallery.
