Location: It is located on the Mazmili Plateau of the Aladag Mountains. The Mazmili Plateau is the general name for the area standing between Karanfil Mountain; Yelatan Plateau; Sarimsak Mountain and Dagdibi Village. It has been surfacing in the shape of a tectonic window within the Liassic aged dolomites and ophiolitic crust units in an area with an average height of 1750 m.
Geography and Environment: It drops into a 75 m descent. It continues with several descents; the longest one being 23 m; and numerous whirlpools until -225 m is reached. It is followed by another descent of 59 m which leads into the temporary camp site. Whirlpools are common in most of the descents. The cave becomes horizontal after reaching to -500 m. The horizontal section is followed by descents again; and the latest point descended is 30 m. From that point; the cave enlarges and extends farther.
