Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky is a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve. It was designated a national park in 1926 and fully established and opened in 1941 -- 80 years ago. At 412 miles, the cave itself is nearly twice as long as any other known cave system. Geologists believe there may even be a couple more hundred miles of undiscovered passageways.
"Broadway, in Mammoth Cave. One of the most-visited parts of Mammoth Cave National Park, the passage called Broadway, or "Main Cave", is a vast subterranean river channel, long abandoned by the waters that formed it. Near left center on the cave floor lie pipes made of hollowed tulip poplar logs, remnants of the nitre mining during the War of 1812. This view looks toward Rotunda and the Historic Entrance."
