One of the places I have been to, is Skyline Caverns located in Front Royal, Virginia. Front Royal is a small city in the western part of Virginia, which is close to West Virginia border. It is about two hours from my house. This town is consisted of mostly farmers. Skyline Caverns is one of the biggest natural caves in Virginia. This beautiful cave was found in 1937 by a geologist named Walter S. Amos. Now the caverns is the most visited in Virginia.
There three physical characteristic of Skyline Caverns. First characteristic of the cave is the crystals growing on the walls and ceiling in the cave. If you break a piece, you must pay a fine which is 15,000 dollars, or go to jail. The second characteristic of the cave is the mirror lake, this lake has the reflection of the ceiling. The Third characteristic is the natural formation of the rocks in the cavern. Some of the rocks formations are in form of animal like, such as and eagle, a duck chasing a turtle, and even a T-Rex.
Two human/environment interactions of the cavern. One of the two human/environment interaction is, the founders of the cavern remodeled the place for visitors, to see the wonders of the cave. The national park service protects the caves by enforce strict laws prohibited visitors tampering with the crystals.
