Picture taken in 2021 during my first visit to this gorgeous site, a friend is illuminating the end of the portion of the gallery that can be safely explored without harnesses and ropes. The name of the place comes from the miners in the 18th century (and later) lighting fires to warm the rock, then fracturing it through thermal shock by throwing ...
