One wall was a cluster of beautiful white columns made up of fused stalactites and stalagmites. Over thousands of years, the drip of water forms the limestone ceiling formed the flowstone deposits that glittered in the light of my handlamp.

. . . .Never touch the speleothem (cave formation), because the oil from your hands will damage or destroy it. Stay away from hibernation cave during the winter so you don’t harm the bats. Advocate for conservation of caves and their inhabitants to anyone you meet, and carry out the trash you find that’s been left by other people.Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time.

In return to your respect, caves offer you the unique experience of seeing unparalleled treasures of nature: speleothemes (a structure formed in a cave by the deposition of minerals from water, e.g. a stalactite or stalagmite.) of the most astonishing beauty created over thousands of years of what began as a tiny accretion of minerals in water droplets. You have to move with utmost care to avoid touching them as you scramble over rocks or crawl through tunnels. Since your light is usually focused beam from a headlamp or flashlight, you learn to maintain a constant state of alertness in the underground world. . . . Page 133/134
