Welcome to the Mlynki.

Gypsum crystals give this cave its sparkling personality. These photos were taken by explorer and photographer Oleg Grigorev. He and his spelunking friends spent the night down in Mlynki, and in Oleg’s words, “It’s impossible to take a photo that does the cave justice, you need to see the cave in person to realise just how beautiful it is. In candle light the crystals are as colourful as a rainbow, I felt like I was seeing a sunrise on Mars.”
