Description
English: Rosh Haniqra, Israel. Rosh Hanikra ("head of the rock caves") is a geologic formation in Israel, located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Western Galilee near the border with Lebanon. It is a white cliff face which opens up into spectacular grottos. The Rosh Hanikra grottos are cavernous tunnels formed by sea action on the soft chalk rock. The total length is some 200 meters. They branch off in various directions with some interconnecting segments. In the past, the only access to them was from the sea and experienced divers were the only ones capable of visiting. Today a cable car takes visitors down to see the grottos.
עברית: ראש הנקרה, ישראל. ראש הנקרה היא שמורת טבע ייחודית, הנמצאת בקצהו הצפוני של חוף הים התיכון של ישראל ליד הגבול עם לבנון, ומצטיינת בסלע גיר היוצר מצוק תלול היורד לתוך הים התיכון ובו נפרצו מערות. מצוק הנקרות הוא קצהו המערבי של "רכס הסולם", הר התוחם את הגליל המערבי מצפון, ומתנשא לגובה של 300 מטרים. מערות ראש הנקרה הן מערות מאורכות שנוצרו על ידי פעולת הים על סלע הגיר, באורך כולל של 200 מטר. בעבר הגישה אל המערות התאפשרה רק דרך הים בצלילה אך כיום רכבל מאפשר ביקור בהם. בתמונה דייגים לרגלי המצוק לפני השקיעה. הקשת הנראית ברקע נקראת "רגל הפיל" על שום צורת הסלע.
