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.

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