Ingleborough Cave (2), Clapham, Yorkshire Dales, England
You will soon reach the impressive 'Pillar' with the 'Abyss' behind it. The Abyss is only 9 feet deep but when it was named by the original Victorian explorers they had only candles to light their way and would not have been able to see the bottom.

The 9 feet deep 'Abyss' in the main passage which takes some of the water from the cave. This water originates from the stream that drops 365 feet into Gaping Gill.

Water running down a calcite formation in the main passage.
This particular formation is known as "Queen Victoria's Bloomers".

A rather fine, large calcite flow. The handrail below gives an indication of size.
The small blue-grey formation hanging from the roof on the left, just above centre, is known as the "Witch's Fingers".

The Main Stream Passage continues on showing amazing displays of calcite formations.
