Carlsbad Caverns National Park In New Mexico!

These pictures were taken while taking a very fun field trip with my Science Club! For those of you that don't know, I'm a full time 8th grade science teacher and I love my job and my students! My kids had a blast visiting the caverns. This is truly one of the most spectacular natural beauties our planet has to offer. Hundreds of feet below the Guadalupe Desert in New Mexico lies some of the most beautiful natural features created by weathering and erosion that have been sculpted since the creation of our planet! If you haven't been, it's a must! Just hold your breath while you're walking past a 10 story mountain of bat guano! LOL! :)

Wow amazing! We have got something similar to that in Majorca (Spain), very near to my mum's city, it is called "las cuevas de andrax" There is even a small lake inside, just out of this world.
