| Sumario: | [eng] The Gleda-Camp des Pou is a cave system that connects to the open air through two collapse entrances found at its extremities. Currently the cave has an approximate development of 14,620 m, of which 13,720 m are underwater and 900 m above the water table. The total area of the cave system is 142,350 m². The predominant direction of the cave is NE-SW, although many of the galleries extend in different directions. The system contains large volume areas that make it stand out among the group of caves on the Mallorcan coast, with a great wealth and variety of corrosion morphologies and speleothems. The temperature, salinity and depth of the water column have been measured by means of a CTD oceanographic probe. The temperature is close to 19.6°C and the salinity has a stratified profile, with 3 layers separated by pycnoclines. CO2 and O2 have also been measured in 7 air chambers spread over different sectors. These chambers have no atmospheric relationship between them as they are separated by underwater galleries, and can be classified into two groups: the rooms that have a more or less direct connection with the surface and those that are more sealed from the outside atmosphere. In the first group, rooms containing air that allows normal respiration, CO2 values range from 1,100 to 6,230 ppm. The other group of rooms have values that range between 15,000 and 28,000 ppm. The Gleda-Camp des Pou System and the nearby Pirata-Pont-Piqueta System are related from a speleogenetic point of view, being respectively the second and third longest caves in the Balearic Islands. |
