We arrived there shortly after 3:30, which meant that we could not go in the natural entrance, but we were able to visit the cavern by means of a seventy story elevator down.
It was quite dark and quite cold in the cavern. So we tried our best to get some photos, but we only had my little camera, which isn't so good. Nevertheless, we tried, and here's what we saw, only you have to imagine it in at least 10 times more splendor.
They called the one on the top the lion's tail, but we thought it looked more like the cave's uvula. The one on the bottom is a column, which extends from ceiling to floor.
The one on the top is just a collection of different formations. The one on the bottom shows some of the detailed dripping formations.
The top one is a little creepy but cool. It's our attempt to get a picture of a cave within a cave. The bottom one is our attempt to show some of the vastness of the cave. It really was a giant hole in the ground which our pictures do no justice of showing.
Some more formations.
And some more.
My camera really did struggle, but hopefully you can see a little bit of what we saw. The loop we took around the cavern was about a mile long, so there was much to see. We thought it was interesting, but if you go, make sure you have a jacket. About 3/4 of the way through, you stop focusing on what you're seeing and only focusing on how incredibly cold you are.
