| description | [eng] The Font des Verger is located at an altitude of 570 m in the Biniaraix ravine (Sóller municipality). It corresponds to an important spring located at the contact between the limestones and dolomites appertaining to the Lias (lower Jurassic) and the marls and dolostones Rhaetian in age (upper Triassic). It constitutes a drainage gallery formed by a unique conduit that has an approximate direction NEE (070º), of 423 m of projected route and 510 m of real development. The first 158 m are air-filled, with two short sumps (sump 1 and sump 2), followed by a third sump 300 m long (225 m in projection) that has a continuation through an aerial room approaching 40 m in length. Francesc Ripoll and Adolfo Gregorio, members of the Ahlbaida group and the Speleo Club Mallorca, conducted the first explorations between 1971-76. The Cwmbran Caving Club explored, between 1994-97, the entire sump 3 finally reaching an air chamber. In 2009, a Mallorcan expedition was organized between several speleological clubs (Agrupació Esportiva Voltors-OJE, Grup Nord de Mallorca and Grup Espeleològic de Llubí) and the sump 3 was surveyed. |

[cat] La font des Verger es localitza al barranc de Biniaraix, al terme de Sóller, a una altitud de 570 m. És una important surgència ubicada en el contacte entre les calcàries i dolomies del lias (juràssic inferior) i les margues i dolomies del retià (triàsic superior). Constitueix una galeria de drenatge formada per una galeria única de direcció aproximada NEE (070º), de 423 m de recorregut projectat i 510 m de recorregut real. Els primers 158 m són aeris, amb dos breus sifons (sifó 1 i sifó 2), seguits del sifó 3 de 225 m projectats i 300 m reals per després prosseguir per una sala aèria que s’aproxima als 40 m de longitud. Les primeres exploracions es realitzen entre els anys 1971-76 per part de Francesc Ripoll i Adolfo Gregorio, membres del grup Ahlbaida i de l’Speleo Club Mallorca. Entre 1994-97 el Cwmbran Caving Club explora la totalitat del sifó 3 i aconsegueix arribar a una sala aèria. El 2009 s’organitza una expedició mallorquina entre els clubs Agrupació Esportiva Voltors-OJE, Grup Nord de Mallorca i Grup Espeleològic de Llubi, en la qual es mesuren les poligonals del sifó 3.
