The exact location of the cave has not been recorded. The cliff of the coast is the inner side of the caldera wall of the Baranovski volcano, which is rapidly disintegrating under the influence of lateral erosion of the river. According to the description of A. Z. Fedorov, the cave was observed in soft reddish tuffs, which were artisanally developed in the 1920s by the peasants of the Krasny Yar village as a source of raw material for the colorful pigments making. He observed traces of the tuffs extraction in the cave itself. The description suggests an artificial origin of the cave itself, formed as a result of the mining of soft rock, especially since “next to the main cave there were two more small caves formed by tuff seekers.” The place of these developments is clearly visible on modern satellite images. The rocks that make up the caldera of the Baranovski volcano, are volcanic-sedimentary tuff breccia containing volcanic bombs. It is these formations that could be taken by a researcher who has no geological training, for “high-relief images of a human head almost in full size”.
