In pictures and videos – at a depth of 25 meters… What is new in the detection operations on the natural chasm in Baalbek?

Yesterday, a team of specialists in the study of caves, at the invitation of Representative Antoine Habshi, and in cooperation with the Northern Bekaa Coordination Office and the Environment Office of the “Lebanese Forces” party, descended into the natural abyss discovered in the town of Bshawat, and this natural landmark (sinkhole) was discovered. And he drew a topographical map, where it turned out to be a natural abyss with a depth of about 25 meters, which is the distance that the team was able to reach, due to the presence of sedimented mud that prevented the team from completing its tasks, and it is expected to be deeper, pending the completion of the process by the National Council team. For scientific research, according to the correspondent of “An-Nahar” in Baalbek.

It is noteworthy that the chasm is formed inside calcareous rocks, and there are many gaps in it.

An-Nahar obtained these special snapshots of the abyss detection operations, in anticipation of the official report of the National Council for Scientific Research.
