We visited the 3 caves:
a. Jewel Cave (dried cave)
b. Mammoth Cave (dried)
c. Lake Cave (water still running through...)
Temperature: 15°C (chilling and dark)
This is what normally you could found in a cave:
- Straws grow in places where water leaches slowly through cracks in rock, such as on the roofs of caves (look alike spaghetti)
- Stalactites is a type of speleothem (secondary mineral) that hangs from the ceiling of limestone caves.
- Stalagmite is a type of speleothem that rises from the floor of a limestone cave due to the dripping of mineralized solutions and the deposition of calcium carbonate.
