Шаблон:Infobox Cave Gourgouthakas (Шаблон:Lang-el; from "small cutting on rocks, in which rain water is collected and from which animals drink water") is a cave located in the Lefka Ori mountains on the Greek island of Crete. It is the deepest cave in Greece, with an explored depth of Шаблон:Convert,[1] and is the 43rd deepest in the world in 2010.[2]
Gourgouthakas was discovered in 1990 by the Speleological Mission of the Catamaran team, based in Μontbeliard, France.[3] The depth of 985 m was reached in 1997. [4] In 1998, the same group reached the small lake (sump) at the bottom, at a depth of Шаблон:Convert.[5] The lake has not yet been explored.
The cave is primarily a deep vertical shaft, filled with intersecting arcades and huge stalagmites and stalactites.[3] Due to its configuration, specialized equipment and expertise is required to explore it.[5]
