Caves
by Ishtar Oct. 2004

The mysterious life of caves from pbs.org where the picture above came from.

I find caves fascinating.  It's cool to see the formation of the different types of rocks.

The cavers motto is: "Take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time, leave no trace."

  This site the virtual cave is a cool site because you can see 4 types of caves; sea caves, Lava tube caves, solution caves and erosional caves. 
  The National Speleological Society is another great site for cavers and this is a link to Canadian Cavers.

This is a really informative site all about caves and how important it is to not pollute because it destroys these underground caves and the animals and life that live in these habitats. Caves Theme.
  This is an educational site about caves but this is an even better site about amazing caves; and this is a story about caving I like too.
  My sister found this cave art game.
