Carlsbad Caverns travel wonder in America |
|
|
Why Carlsbad Caverns is special Carlsbad Caverns is gargantuan – so far about 50 kilometers (30 miles) of its caves have been explored. An estimated 500 kilometers (300 miles) have yet to see man or light. It has colossal stalactites, stalagmites and other limestone formations buried deeper in the earth than the Eiffel Tower is high. Carlsbad Caverns is in the middle of nowhere in a desert-mountain region of New Mexico in the southwestern USA, yet it draws visitors from around the world.
