Aggtelek and Slovak Karst: Figure 2. A sketch long section of Dobšina Ice Cave drawn by Dr. Johann E.Pelech (1879). It indicates the principles of the glacière or cold trap very well. The direction of the arrow indicates north. (A) External visible hollow in the limestone. (B) Actual entrance. (C, D) Upper portion of the Cavern with the three Ice Pillars, the Ice Saloon, Ice Tent, and Ice Hillock. (E) Lower portion of the Cavern, the Corridor with the Ice Wall. Near (G) the Cavern contracts, and is filled with fragments of rock; through these the water flows away. (J). The great Ice Mass. (M) The Limestone Rock. At (H) the top of the ice is in contact with the roof of the Cavern, thus dividing it into two parts, the Upper and Lower Stages. (Pelech, 1879)
