There are many caverns (洞窟) in the Appalachian Mountains near Washington, DC. The closest is Skyline Caverns, about one hour away by car.

The largest room in Skyline Caverns is called "Cathedral Hall". There is a rock formation (鍾乳石?) called "The Eagle" in Cathedral Hall. Can you see the eagle (鷲) shape?



Here is a special rock formation called an "anthodite". Skyline Caverns is famous as one of only a few places in the world where you can see anthodites.



This is called "Fairyland Lake". The still water reflects the ceiling like a mirror.
