Altamira’s Cave preservation again.
Once more, the dilemma of whether or not the total closure of Altamira Cave reaches Santillana del Mar, Cantabria.
Enclosed, there is a link to a new from the local newspaper of Cantabria, El Diario Montañés, where Gaël Guichen, scientific director of the research program and conservation of the World Heritage Site Cueva shows his oppinion.
There is no doubt that scientists have not yet come up with an optimal solution, however there is no firm solution to the problem of the slow degradation of the prehistoric paintings that remained same for more than 20,000 years.
From our small hotel, La Casa del Organista, we want to encourage scientists to find a solution to the problem of the paintings preservation by a good empirical way that characterizes these professionals.
Thank you very much for your effort and here is the link: News Mountaineer Journal of Cantabria of 02.16.2016
