| Abstract: | Ghar Dalam - the Cave of Darkness---is a natural water- worn tunnel in the Lower Coralline Limestone. It is situated on the north-east side of a rocky ravine, known as Wied Dalam. The cave, which varies in width from 20 to 60 feet, and in height from 10 to 18 feet, runs in a north-easterly direction for 270 feet, after which it grades off into several narrow branches, opening up here and there into wider and higher spaces; its total length being over 700 feet. The walls of the cave shelve inwards towards a deep central channel of unequal width. [Excerpt] |
