Horsethief Cave is a wild cave explored by those only willing to repel in or have a gruesome 100-150 feet of crawling in extremely tight passages before it opens up. With 14.6 surveyed miles of passages it is the 52nd longest cave in the United States. Getting lost is extremely easy. Hauling an SLR camera in with strobes proved to be a very difficult process that required a bit of planning in the tight crawls.
Strobist Note: SB-800 from camera left and I think I had one at the right too. 1/2 power. Fired by Nikon CLS system.
Shot taken at the end of the 500m tunnel leading to this lake and waterfall at the "Grotte aux fées".
This pleasant couple squeezed into the cave opening and discovered I was there...
I asked them to pose for a shot and this was the result :)
Looks like they're as happy to be exploring these caves as I was...

On March 3, 2014, I had the delight of visiting the Ice Caves of northern Wisconsin.
The Apostle Islands Ice Caves have made national and international news this winter because of the rare opportunity to walk onto frozen Lake Superior and hike the mile to the caves on the shoreline. This happens every six to ten years or so, depending on the temperatures and their duration, making it safe to walk onto Lake Superior.
Batu Caves (Tamil: பத்து மலை; Chinese: 黑風洞) is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu (Batu River), which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village.
The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, and is dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia.
