Hello, Carlsbad Caverns National Park! by Mark Stevens

Natural Entrance Trail-13 A view looking down and to the east while walking the path on the Natural Entrance Trail in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to capture the look of the man-made walking path as it led into the depths of the cavern. All around would be the cliff wall and areas caught in reflected sunlight, but there would be that one “hole” leading into the darkness below.

Most of Carlsbad Caverns' speleothems (cave deposits such as these stalagmites) consist of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) that precipitates from groundwater that enters a cavern. Some speleothems are also composed of aragonite and gypsum. (USGS)

Some idiot climbed down this ladder once, I guess. Spelunking takes a certain kind of brave idiocy, I guess.
