| Location: Along with Yazkonagi 1 cave it is located on the western bank of Saydere (Lahana stream); just south of Ünye (Karagöl quarter) in the province of Ordu. The distance between the two caves is approximately between 150 - 200 m. |
| Structural Properties and formation : The cave developed in east to west direction on a clear faultline. Yazkonagi 1 and 2 consist the parts of the same underground system and they were developed in the east-west direction unlike the flow direction of the present rivers which is from south to north. Yazkonagi 1 entrance altitude is 80 m. The cave is 1-4 m wide; and the ceiling height is 0.5-3 m. It consists of a main gallery in NW-SE direction (towards the large cave) ; and the side gallery which cuts the main gallery in a right angle at the entrance (NE-NE). The basin is filled with pebbles; and sand pile-ups. Contains dripstone formations such as eccentrics suspending from its ceiling. It is a spring type semi-avtive cave. There is a subsurface stream in this cave which flows both in winter and in summer. The water that disappears from time to time; between the piles of sand and pebbles; is actually coming from the side branch of Yazkonagi 1. |
