Скачать или смотреть FFOC Excursion - Exploring "Incirli Cave" in North Cyprus 110922 ‖ Ester Beatty

Incirli cave encompasses a fascinating collection of stalagmites and stalactites. Hidden away off a signed beaten track, the entrance to this amazing cave is so small that you would hardly know it was there if it were not for the nearby symbolic fig (Turkish: incir) tree.

Two flights of steps take you from the small entrance down into the widest and longest part of the cave. The only known developed gypsum topography cave in North Cyprus and even Turkey, it is very well illuminated for its visitors.

Lined with very unique cauliflower shaped structures formed out of the white mineral, coarse stalactites hang from the ceiling whilst smooth stalagmites rise from out of the ground, as visitors prudently explore this natural wonder. Columns extending to the ceiling and sandstone rock formations add to the beauty.

The cave extends to a depth of 250 metres in an east western direction though only 70 metres is accessible to visitors. It is between five to ten metres wide at varying points, and the height of the cave varies between four to seven metres, which is said changes according to the phases of the moon.

Towards the end of the accessible area, the passageway narrows and sharply turns, providing a maze-like tour, with small corridors branching off into darkened nooks and rock formations swept upwards in exquisite curves.
