This enormous cavern has been carved out of the earth by the ceaseless

passage of time. Gigantic stalagmites, larger around than a dozen men

could link arms, rise up imperiously towards the darkened ceiling.

Smaller stalagmites jut up like a forest of spears, making travel a

little chancy, especially since the floor is slick and smooth from the

constant dripping of water. Little streams wind their way about, and

disappear through small cracks in the floor.
