Mammoth Cave Infrared Tour using Sony Nightshot

An infrared view of Mammoth Cave (New Entrance, Drapery Room, Morrison Passageways) using a Sony Camcorder equipped with NightShot followed by a trip to the Green River and the River Styx. This video is a good demonstration of Sony's Night Shot. After reviewing the results I'm pretty happy with NightShot's performance for a regular consumer product.

Mammoth Cave is beautiful. I was surprised not to see too many stalactites or stalagmites but then found that it was due to the solid cave ceiling that prevented water from forming cave structures.

Mammoth Cave became United States' 26th National Park in 1941.

Thanks for the Lost Sea tip, I'll keep it in mind the next time I go to TN. Last time I was in a cave was Luray Caverns, VA - really nice cave.

It is a nice place to roam. The entrance to the cave is like free air conditioning. :)

That place looks really cool! Where is that?

It's Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. About 1.5 hours drive north from Nashville, TN or south from Louisville, KY. It was a 5.5 hour drive southwest from Columbus, OH. It's a nice place, kinda laid back. If I ever visit again I'll try staying at the Mammoth Cave Hotel. I was a bit hesitant and stayed at a more popular hotel chain but ate lunch at Mammoth Cave Hotel and it wasn't half bad in my opinion and right by the visitor center. I haven't seen the rooms though.

Great Place took our honeymoon there June 1971. We stayed in the cottages. Back then Mammoth Caves was not a Heritage site and they had no idea it was the longest cave. We had tours you can no longer go on. We went down to the water level of the cave and walked in "the sands of time"
