10 Beautiful Underground Lakes And Rivers
1. Reed Flute Cave Reed Flute Cave in Guilin, China was discovered during the Tang Dynasty almost 1,300 years ago.  2. Cheddar Gorge Cheddar Gorge is Britain’s biggest canyon and is found within the Cheddar Caves, where the UK’s oldest complete human skeleton was found in 1903. Known as the Cheddar Man, the remains were estimated to be 9,000 years old.  3. Hamilton Pool Hamilton Pool Preserve, in Austin, Texas, was created quite naturally when the dome of an underground cave collapsed revealing this stunning natural pool. It is now frequented by day-trippers and naturalists.  Hamilton Pool from another perspective - when there’s been heavy rainfall, 45ft waterfalls cascade from the rim of the cavern.  4. Luray Caverns Stalagtites adorn the roof of Luray Caverns, Virginia, the still waters throwing a perfect reflection.  5. Wookey Hole Legend has it that early cavemen inhabited Wookey Caves in Somerset, England  6. Mellisani Caves This underground lake in Mellisani Caves, near Kefalonia, was found when the roof of the cave collapsed after an earthquake in 1953.  7. Lechuguilla Cave Lechuguilla Cave, in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico is the fifth longest cave discovered yet at 120 miles (193 km) long and measures 489 metres (1,604 ft) deep, making it the deepest in continental United States  8. Macan Che This underground lake near Macan Ché on the Yucatán Peninsula is one of many that are considered to be gifts from the gods by the Mayans, and therefore sacred  9. Cavern Lake Mexico The limestone flow feeding into this underground lake in Mexico resembles a waterfall turned to stone.  10. Underwater Cave, Banff How long must it have taken for this little waterfall in Banff, Canada, to make this underwater lake?  |

Re: 10 Beautiful Underground Lakes And Rivers
We went to Kefalonia for our honeymoon and saw trips advertised to the Mellisani caves but we didn't manage to fit it in. I imagine they just took you to see them as it doesn't look accessable  |
