Scarisoara Glacier Cave is a natural wonder located in the Apuseni Mountains of Romania.
It is a karst cave, formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, and is famous for its massive underground glacier.
The cave is over 700 meters long and up to 105 meters deep, with a constant temperature of around 0 degrees Celsius throughout the year. The glacier, which is estimated to be around 3,500 years old, covers an area of about 4,800 square meters and reaches a thickness of up to 20 meters in some areas. The ice is fed by water that drips through the ceiling of the cave and freezes on contact with the cold air. The cave's microclimate, with its high humidity and low temperatures, helps to preserve the ice year-round.
Scarisoara Cave is a popular tourist attraction, with guided tours available for visitors to explore the cave and its unique features. In addition to the glacier, the cave is also home to stunning stalactites and stalagmites, as well as underground lakes and rivers. The cave's natural beauty and scientific significance have earned it recognition as a protected natural monument by the Romanian government.
Overall, Scarisoara Cave is a remarkable natural wonder that offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of underground caves and glaciers.
