Gouffre de l'Astreinte (-370m) France - New discovery

In december 2016 the grotto "Groupe Sp?l?o de la Vall?e d' Ossau" discovered a new cave, current depth is -370m. But the cave is still in exploration.

In the meanwhile a clip was made to show it to the world. But the clip was made by an other Grotto (Amalagame) during a visit.

I picked this news up on French FB group.

I used grotto as english term for a caving club. In France they use mostly "Groupe (de) Speleo"

I think "Grotto" is more of an American term, the English tend to use "Caving Club" much like the French.
