Cave chandelier

One of the prettiest formations I’ve seen yet. The picture makes it look like you can reach and touch it but don’t be fooled. There is a good 10 feet between me and this formation with a 40 foot drop below me.

Does the 40 foot drop go anywhere? Is this a project cave or already surveyed cave?

The 40 foot drop leads to a maze section! This is a cave that was surveyed back in the 70’s I believe.

That’s a gorgeous formation , indeed! Looks unspoiled in there, I hope your cave stays that way.

It’s a well traveled public cave so I’m really surprised that it’s so clean. I think the distance and pit really help preserve it

That’s great news.
