Abstract

The lava tube was discovered in 2004. It is characterised by the lack of natural entrance, a length of about 200 m, and internal landforms including step marks, lava stalactites, among others, which are scarce in number and not very varied. The lava tube is practically linear, with simple longitudinal profile and simple floor plan and symmetrical transversal section.
