Sažetak
Ice and snow caves are distributed throughout Croatia in the Dinaric karst mountain belt. Most of them are located on Velebit Mt., 1200 m a.s.l. in the zone with snow (boreal) climate. In the past, some of them were used for ice excavation for water and conservation purposes. First mentions occurred in the 17th century and the first researches in 19th century. During the second half of 20th century in some ice cave microclimates, geomorphological and glaciochemical researches started. According to data from deep shafts in Velebit Mt., there is the deepest recorded cave ice in the World. The depth of the ice recorded there is up to 550 m. In the frame of chemical researches, tritium and element concentration, stable isotope and age of the ice were studied.
