I found a vertical cave in the Chatyr-Dag region, which is a well with a depth of meters. On Dolgorukovskaya Yayla, not so long ago, the only cave-source this year was discovered so far. Its length is about 300 meters, inside there are siphons completely flooded with water, so its further exploration by speleologists is possible only with the use of diving equipment , — quotes the press service of the senior lecturer of the Faculty of Geography , Geoecology and Tourism of the Crimean Federal University of Gennady Samokhin.
