This cave is almost straight, and about 1000 metres long. Its entrance is relatively large and contains no well inside. In rainy seasons, Keeler Cave is filled with a large amount of water and the water comes streaming out of the cave, but in dry seasons (e.g. at the end of spring, and in summer) there is only a small stream coming from a relatively large pool at the end of the cave, making several smaller pools of various sizes in some parts of the cave. The large pool at the end of the cave, with a maximum depth of about 150 cm, is a permanent pool, and the

Water temperature was 12°C, pH was 7.27.7 and CO2 concentration was measured as 4 ppt. We found a few beetles, woodlice and spiders and some colonies of bats in the Keeler cave.
