This video documents a research trip to the cave of La Garma, part of the Altamira World Heritage Site. The research team were exploring the significance of sound, music and acoustics in the caves, to see if these are related to positioning of cave paintings for example. The entrance to this cave collapsed more than 15,000 years ago, and so the floor is untouched since then. Only a handful of archaeologists have been to the cave.
