This is a lava cavity, about 10m high and 25m in circumference. It has the same reputation as the Dog's Cave in Italy. Due to volcanic action, carbon dioxide gas rises from crack in the floor of the cave and forms a layer, below which a dog will quickly expire whilst his owner can continue to breath the pure air in the layer above. Today this experiment is carried out with a lighted candle. Text by Tony Oldham (2002). With kind permission. |
