Kazumura Cave Gallery
Our tour of Kazumura cave the longest known lava tube in the world
Waiting at one of several ladders along the route
So many fascinating formations
All formed by flowing lava under the ground
Very delicate formations - do not touch!
This one broke off
See the different layers?
Different sections of the tube had distinct formations
At the end of the route!
More variety in the tube walls
Owner/Guide Harry was very knowledgeable
Some sections had high ceilings and some you had to duck
Harry explained how each type of formation was created as the lava flowed and cooled ...
but there were so many different types ...
that I can't remember!
The tour was very interesting and worthwhile ...
Highly recommended if you have the time!
End of the road, about 2 miles in!
Another distinct type of formation
Heading back the way we came ...
One short little rope assisted descent - careful where you step, though!
