After the necessary geophysical surveys, geodesic and cadastral works, the specialists of the Crimean Federal University drilled a new entrance into the cave at the Federal highway “Tavrida”. For scientists a long-awaited operation took one day. This was reported by the press service of the Kazan Federal University.
Drilled into the limestone using heavy equipment hole has a depth of eight metres.
– While this is the only entrance to scientists, explained senior lecturer in physical geography and geomorphology Gennady Samokhin. – Now our task is to conduct a qualitative project work under the ground to make the tour route. We will do a topographical survey underground will continue to work with paleontology and Mineralogy. I am sure that the finds will be very much.
When drilling was able to get exactly the set of underground galleries in the furthest and lowest part of the cave. From ceiling to five-meter layer of clay on the floor – only one meter, but after digging places would be sufficient.
– If the earlier research was secondary, and we explored the underground space is primarily to ensure the safety of the route “Tavrida”, which passes right over the cave, now have time to devote to science and design of tourist route.
Soon this place will start construction of a big entrance into the future scientific and recreational complex. Project tour sign already undergoing an independent examination and will soon be ready for implementation.
we will Remind, in the summer of 2018, the builders of the track “Tavrida” accidentally shot “well” in the 1.5-kilometer underground gallery, and in it were found the remains of dozens of prehistoric animals. Only the surface was raised more than 250 pounds of bones. In the summer of 2019, the scientists found the historic entrance to the cave, which most likely enjoyed living on the Peninsula half a million years ago prehistoric animals.
in late 2020 – early 2021 the first tourists will be able to use the modern scientific-educational cultural complex Tavrida.
