Carlsbad Caverns


This is a picture of the Carlsbad Caverns in a National Park located near Carlsbad, New Mexico in the United States. Carlsbad Caverns includes the Big Room, a natural limestone cave chamber which is the seventh largest cave chamber in the world. The caverns are decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and an incredible variety of other formations like flowstones that can be seen by several easily accessible trails. Over time, fracture in the ancient limestone sedimentation appeared, allowing mineral-laden water to cut through the rock and form the caverns.
