Caves are known as natural underground spaces large enough for a human to enter. Caves are formed in limestone by geologic processes. Their formation and development have taken place with combination of chemical processes, atmospheric influences, or erosion from water. Exploring a cave for science or recreation is great and takes time and effort. Speleologists explore and study all aspects of caves and the environment surrounding the caves which are found throughout the world. However, only a portion of them have been explored. Let�s discover the most beautiful caves below:
