1. An attempt to explain the Phenomena of the Freezing Cavern at Orenburg

Abstract

Dr Hope in the first place read, from the Proceedings of the Geological Society in London, the account of the freezing cavern furnished by the President of the Geological Society of London. This is one of several caves which exist in the southern face of a lengthened low hillock of gypsum. It is entered from the south by a passage rather narrow, and is about fifteen feet high, ten paces long, and seven wide, which seemed to send off irregular fissures into the body of the rock.
