It has been known for over a century, however, the onset of its scientific investigations dates back to 1922, when Tadeusz and Stefan Zwoliński mapped it. Since then, it has become one of the best-known caves in Poland. It was described in over a hundred scientific and popular science papers. They include findings of international importance, e.g. works related to radioisotopes, ice-mass balance and age. However, some of the questions asked a century ago are still partly unanswered. One may wonder if they will be delivered before climate warming causes the largest ‘cave glacier’ in Poland to disappear.}, type={Text}, title={Jaskinia Lodowa w Ciemniaku (Ice Cave in Ciemniak), Western Tatra, Poland – over a century-long investigations of climate Warming-caused degradation of subterranean ice mass}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/240185/WA51_276513_r2023-t96-no4_G-Polonica-Barabach.pdf}, keywords={speleology, cryosphere, Western Tatras, history of cave research, ice cave, climate change}, }
