Along the Maltese Island of Gozo karstic coastal caves are dominant. This one here, near Dweira Bay, exhibits a rare glimpse into the sea and gets flooded during storm events. The unique light conditions make this a spectacular location to observe past and present coastal erosion and karst formation processes.
