     Cool caves





     Hidden away deep inside Earth’s crust
     is a magical subterranean world of caverns,
     such as these stunning examples.





























     Psychedelic salt mine
     A former salt mine in Yekaterinburg,
     Russia, is now one of the world’s
     most colorful caves. More than
     650 ft (200 m) underground, its
     patterned rainbow walls are caused
     by the mineral carnallite swirling
     in layers through the rock.
