The shaft is formed on the same fracture line as 1623/172 (as are several smaller, unmarked shafts), trending on 024°. The shaft is 20m deep, 7m in diameter and has a snow plug which may or may not allow access down a gap at the edge, depending on conditions. <p> <br><font size=-1>Photo © Earl Merson, 1999</font> <!-- Photo scanned from print, AERW --> <hr /> <!-- LINKS --> <ul id="links"> <li><a href="../../173.htm">Back to cave description</a></li> <li><a href="../../index.html">Plateau description</a></li> <li><b>More photos:</b> <ul> <li><b>Kaninchenhöhle</b> <ul> <li><a href="../../../1623/161/pixrh.htm">Virtual tour</a> from <b>top entrance - 161a</b></li> <li><a href="../../../1623/161/pixsf.htm">Virtual tour</a> from <b>Scarface entrance - 161d</b></li> <li>the <a href="../../../1623/161/pixlw.htm">Lost World</a> and Wheelchair Access;</li> <li>the new way into the Forbidden Land via <a href="../../../1623/161/pixss.htm">Steinschlagschacht</a>.</li> </ul></li> <li><a href="../../../gallery/cave.htm">Underground</a> in some of our other caves</li> <li><a href="../../../gallery/ents.htm">Entrance</a> portraits</li> <li><a href="../../../gallery/surf.htm">Surface</a> routes and views</li> <li><a href="../../../gallery/low.htm">Base camp and non-caving</a> activities</li> </ul></li> <li><a href="../../../index.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a> <ul> <li><a href="../../../areas.htm">Area/subarea descriptions</a></li> <li><a href="../../../indxal.htm">Full Index</a></li> <li><a href="../../../areas.htm">Other areas</a> <ul> <li><a href="../../index.html#id173">Plateau area index</a></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><a href="../../../../index.htm">Back to CUCC Home page</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>
