Lechuguilla

Jewel of the Underground


£36.00   

Beneath the mountains of southeastern New Mexico, not far from the famous Carlsbad Caverns, lies an underground labyrinth of unimaginable beauty, known to the privileged few who enter its realm as the world's most beautiful cave. This is Lechuguilla. The variety of Lechuguilla's mineral deposits and the grandeur of its formations surpass anything previously known, a symphony of colors, forms and passages going deep into the heart of the mountains..

However, these 150 kilometers of known passage, formed under rare and almost totally sealed conditions, will never be open to the public. To document, celebrate and share Lechuguilla's unparalleled beauty, Speleo Projects created "Lechuguilla: Jewel of the Underground". This prize-wining book is available in a revised 2nd edition and contains over 120 superb color illustrations, accompanied by beautifully written accounts of the original exploration and of the cave's extraordinary geology and origin.

164 pages 220 x 300 mm, hardbound fully ill
