Picture One | This is in Luray Caverns in Virginia US. They give you a tour for 1 hour and you walk 1 mile inside the cavern. The cavern have millions of years of age and you can see it by the thickness of the stalactites and stalagmites. Very interesting and beautiful inside.
On this trip to West Virginia was also spent some time underground at the pretty Seneca Caverns, located south of Seneca Rocks area.
Captured here hand held at ISO 4000 ... gotta love these camera sensors and noise control.
My wife and I recently visited these caverns, formerly called Luray Cave, in Virginia, United States. The caverns have drawn increasing numbers of visitors since its discovery in 1878. The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems such as columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone and mirrored pools. This view shows one of the gorgeous mirrored pools. Without argument, this is one of the most astonishingly beautiful cave systems I have been lucky to visit.
Loray Caverns in Loray, Virginia is like nothing I have ever seen! The reflections on Dream Lake are stunning. Definitely worth visiting. HSoS!

Daylight streams into the cave's natural entrance,lighting a segment of the trail and revealing some haze in the air.
So I had to look it up. The difference between a 'cave' and a 'cavern' is that a cavern connotes a really big cave. Otherwise the words are interchangeable. English doesn't stop at one useful word when two or three are possible.
The surface of Uluru ( Ayers Rock) looks smooth from a distance but up close are the signs of the never ending attack of the weather, which results in the formation of fissures and cracks in the rock which over time become quite large caverns.
