Foot-and-mouth disease cave

Altai region

The Yashchur cave is a natural monument of interest to scientists. It got its name thanks to the locals, who see the fossilized ridge of the “Green FMD” inside (the walls covered with green algae resemble a ridge).

The area of the natural monument is 1.13 hectares. The cave has three entrances. Numerous narrow passages lead from the Big grotto. Of interest are calcite crusts with "pearl", various drip formations.
