Cavers in a large passage in Cueva Coventosa, Cantabria, northern Spain


The magnificent Cueva Coventosa , near the village of Ramales de la Victoria in northern Spain is popular with cavers because of its many fine passages. Her two cavers use giant flashbulbs to illuminate a large 'vadose' cave passage, formed in this shape as the water eroded the passage floor.
