Instinct suggested that this ¡°scratch of the surface¡± is not all there is, and the cave was later explored deep enough to be the deepest pit on Crnopac for a period. The continous exploration from 2008 till 2012 didn¡¯t result in significant passages, frequently seen in nearby Kita Ga£¿e£¿ina cave system. Along with depth, the physical demands increased, and as the interest waned, other objects occupied explorers. A new boost started in 2016. with discovery of passages quite near the first bivouac. Within two years, the cave was explored branching into horizontal passages on two levels, some 280 m and 550 m deep, along with easier pitches connecting them. This article gives an overview of interesting parts of the two-year exploration, primarily the exploration of Plodni kanal passage on the first level, coming as close as 30 m towards Kita Ga£¿e£¿ina. The second level passages Nagrada is still very much opened for exploration, beyond Jajna stanica lake. Muda labudova thus became an Croatia-wide important cave, both in depth and length %K Muda labudova %K cave exploration %K Crnopac %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=301335
