One of the oldest caves in Malta, access to this one requires a ticket and there is also a museum. What makes Ghar Dalam significant is what was found inside it. Formed during the ice-age by gushing torrential waters, life above ground was washed down to be stored below the surface in fossilised layers. See dwarf elephants and hippopotami dating back some 500,000 years! The cave also contains the remains of the first settlers around 7,400 years ago.
It's a barren rock, not much too eat, no water, matter of fact when the elephants hippos and even deer shrank in size due to nothing to eat
