Abstract

A cave in Sardasht, northwest of Iran, in filed survey was explored in 2008 by author (Saeed Khezri). During the filed study, one aven and another cave were explored within five kilometers buffer of the first cave. The first cave latter named as “Tuzhal” and second cave named “Dolaneh” cave. Tuzhal cave was introduced in 2008. But in fact, a hole as wide as 1 meter was the only entrance of the Dolaneh cave appeared from outside. Thus a team including four persons entered the Dolaneh cave in order to evaluate its dimensions. Then exploration and recognition of unknown parts of the cave was started. Further geomorphological survey in the area revealed more holes and Karstic landforms distributed as far as 2 km around the Dolaneh cave entrance. The evidence proved that there is a junction between Tuzhal and Dolaneh caves and other around avens and Karstic springs. Further caving by professionals is needed to recognize all parts of the caves and karstic landforms in the area.
