Comments

The caves were formed from sulfuric acid rich water rather than the usual carbonic acid.  The source of the sulfur is believed to be from deep petroleum deposits that moved upward. 

Description


The forces of water decorated the cave in an almost endless array of spectacular limestone formations such as this column and array of stalactites
