| Located in part of a collapsed lava tube of the Bandera Volcano in New Mexico, the ice cave's temperature never rises above 31 F. The natural layer of perpetual ice glisten blue-green in the reflected rays of sunlight. Situated on the Continental Divide you walk through the twisted, old-growth Juniper, Fir and Ponderosa Pine trees, over the ancient lava trail to the Ice Cave. | |

| Some of the Great Lakes' most spectacular scenery occurs here centuries of wave action have carved intricate caves into the sandstone cliffs of the Apostle Islands shoreline. Delicate arches, vaulted chambers, and hidden passageways honeycomb cliffs on the north shore of Devils Island, by Swallow Point on Sand Island, and near Squaw Bay on the mainland. In summer, the sea caves are only accessible by boat. In winter, though, it's sometimes possible to visit one of the finest formations simply by walking on the frozen lake surface. Hardy hikers who make the trip will find an enchanting fairyland scene of frozen waterfalls and chambers filled with uncounted thousands of delicate icicles. | |

| Here the mountain reveals one of its many hidden treasures. On the northwest slope of the Shawangunks, above Ellenville, there is an extensive, semi circular arrangement of large crevices known as Ice Caves. Snow accumulates in the deeper recesses, remaining throughout the summer. The main chamber was known hereabouts as Sunken Valley, which seems appropriate for this lonely place. | |
