Lake of the Dahlias somewhere beyond P1010079, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Here it is – over the hump. I pressed through this low slot and on to the passage beyond – an elliptical tunnel that wound off into gloom. Its hard to imagine but somewhere further on the helictites become so dense and interwoven that [...]

Staying at the Jibacoa – Caving in Matanzas P1010096, originally uploaded by Mic2006.
