The end of a cave.

The entrance of a cave will end to a part. what is this called?

Should I just say an 'end'? or is there any specific term?

Best Answer

The "end of a cave" could have two interpretations (depending on whether you are going in, or going out). I'll list both.

  1. The rock wall stopping you going any further in. (From the perspective of walking into the cave)

    You'd call this the back of the cave

  2. The point at which you exit the cave. (From the perspective of being inside it)

    You'd simply refer to this as the entrance, the exit or mouth of the cave.
