Ominous-looking descent into the cave's depths - it also had about 3 feet of headroom and two especially low-hanging rocks our guide called "headache" and "splitting headache"
The cave's most famous formation, the inverted table, which is actually a remnant of the cave floor held up by two columns. It's heard to tell but there is water that sits about two feet under the bottom of the table. It's called Lake Cave because, appropriately, there is a big lake in the middle of it, and visitors walk around the edge of it on a boardwalk. The orange lines on the columns represent past water levels; the water in the cave has dropped drastically in the last decade (they think climate change has something to do with it but they're not really sure), which isn't a good omen for the cave's future.
Our guide did a very cool light show for us, where she turned different sections of lights in the cave on and off while we watched.
Portion of the cave ceiling that has collapsed but still has formations on it.
