De altfel, în jurul orelor prânzului, razele de soare pătrund prin fereastră creând un decor feeric. Explicaţia existenţei blocului de gheaţă în peşteră este dată de două elemente: fereastra din tavan favorizează acumularea aerului rece, iar lipsa ventilării în peşteră menţine aerul rece captiv tot timpul anului.
