Sažetak
Mt. Crnopac is the SE part of the Velebit Mountain range. This area is a subject of intensive speleological research in last decades. The most important caves of Crnopac massif are Munižaba (5993m, -437m), Kita Gaćešina-Draženova puhaljka (11560m, -530m), Burinka (325m, -290m), Gornja (Upper cave) (2682m, -42m) and Donja (Lower cave) Cerovačka pećina (1295m, -22m). The main morphological characteristic of those caves is a network of multiphase cave passages, some of them with very large cross-section dimensions. The biggest estimated volumes of the caves are about 1.8 million m3 (Munižaba), 1.1 million m3 (Burinka) and 0.8 million m3 (Kita Gaćešina). The possibilities of further scientific research in those caves are discussed.
