Since its discovery in 1986, more than 240 kilometers of cave has been explored with no end in sight. Owing to its geologic setting and unusual process of formation, the cave contains a remarkable diversity of rare minerals and formations, which have helped change our understanding of how caves form and the microbial life they can contain.

An explanation of how the stunning imagery is captured takes the reader along in this visual journey of Discoveries in a Hidden Splendor.
