The Tsunami cave takes this singular name from the morphology of a lava sheet, probably the side of a wall of the lava channel that originated it, which has the shape of a wave. The cavity has a short development of about ten meters, however a longer channel is noted on the same eruptive axis where more small caves have been detected, of relative interest. In the part where a collapse of the vault occurred there is a hole from which you can access a small room of 4/5 square meters and about a couple of meters high that can serve as a refuge.
