Slovakian Expedition to FYROM: Ponors of the Prespan lake.

Description: 21 Nov. 2006. 

FYROM and Solunska glava. 

Cavers from the Red Mts.-speleoclub, Slovakia, explored in the october 2006
surroundings of the Babuna spring under Solunska Glava. In canyon above the
spring they discovered a cave (New Babuna) with an echo and droping water
behind. After throwing some stones out of the fissure a lake 20 x 6 m was
discovered. It was explored with a help of a transport bag filled with
polystyrene and PET bottles. Behind a corner lake closes itself, neither
looking to be a siphon. 

Cavers explored also ponors of the Prespan lake near Dolna Gorica village.
Near bay with ponors they found a fissure blocked by a stone. After removing
it they entered a large cave, 100 m long. Inside they found a deep lake 40 x
10 m. Children from the village helped them with an exploration of the lake
by bringing a big inner-tube removed out of a tyre. After swimming the lake
over cavers discovered a stream 15 m long and after cutting the another
fissure they discovered also another lake (7 x 7 m), which turned to be a
deep siphon. There´s a paradise for cave-divers. Water from the cave emerges
in the Ochrid lake situated more than 18 km further and 157 m lower. After a
rock amphitheatre with the ponor, the cave was given a name of Zaver; that´s
how locals name it.
