Carlsbad Caverns is a series of natural limestone caves located in
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in the Guadalupe Mountains of New
Mexico. The most notable chamber is the “Big Room”, a cavern 4,000 ft
long and 225 ft high, at its highest point. The Big Room holds some of
the Caverns’ most impressive formations, although there are a multitude
of other chambers that feature a variety of natural marvels. The Caverns
are rich with speleothem formations, fossils, underground pools, and
hundreds of thousands of bats, which emerge in a dazzling nightly
ritual.
