Меня интересовало в статье что это пещера относится кластокарстовым пещерам.
Оно образуется в следствие вымывания цементирующих осадочных пород.
На дне пещеры находится каньон через которую течёт подземная река очень холодная
и чистая. В статье говорится что с потолка пещеры свисают колхидский плющ.
Фотографий нет, по этому хотелось узнать плющь- который растёт вверх , цепляясь
за стволы придаточными корнями , как оно там растёт? И там нет солнечного луча.
Фотосинтез не происходит. Это вопрос автору.
