Elands River Mouth 1 Cave

Region: Elands River Mouth

ERM 1 – 30m

ERM 1 is a small cave about a 1m above river level on the eastern bank
of the river. The direction of the main passage runs perpendicular to
the river. At high tide, the sea pushes into the river mouth, and washes
along the base of the step leading up to the cave. At some time in the
past, the cave was partially filled with sand, which has subsequently
been washed out near the entrance. This has left a platform at the back
of the cave, with a steep step down to the entrance.

During the visit, we found two Rhinolophus bats flying around in the
cave, but did not attempt to identify them further. This cave was
surveyed.
