Treasures in a Cave
On our way to the Aglipay Caves during our 43rd BIOTA-PHIL Annual National Convention, we witnessed the majestic treasures of the unknown world:

In the darkness, treasures like stalactites and stalagmites sparkle like expensive gems:



The rock structures were wet looking since mineral water drips from them. Walking inside was sticky and bat droppings were scattered everywhere. Some covered entirely a stalagmite surface.
Some resemble images of the feared fictional creatures,

Looks like the Alien, pregnant however.
And who is in this photo? I see Einstein, some says a being from the grave,

There were also some Nido nestlings, bats, we have seen also a solitary mushroom in the dark and this striped spider:

One of the hardest must-to-do things was when we duck-walked and crawled in one of the areas; sweating and nerve breaking:

Everything worths it. These treasures were no longer new to different science-related professionals, but I would still be glad to let others see some of my first encounter of the caves. I hope that more explorations would follow this one.

Re: Treasures in a Cave
I wish I could have seen those stalactites and stalagmites first hand.
I've been to a few caves, though that was over 10 years ago exept for the gold mine wich was about 4 or 5 years ago.

Wow
that was really really great. I am still working on uploading photos. I will post again some of the rock structures soon.
