Lehman Cave

Detailed Description

 

Speleothems occur in many sizes, depending on their age, or the amount and rate of travertine deposition over time. This view shows many thin "soda straw" stalactites amongst larger stalactites and columns. The thin, delicate soda straws form one drop at a time and their ends are about as wide as a large drop of water.
