Stump Cross Caverns, Show cave in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England.
The limestone caverns extend over 4 miles underground, featuring intricate formations, narrow passageways, and illuminated chambers with ancient mineral deposits.
Lead miners discovered the caves in 1858, reaching a depth of 15 meters while searching for mineral deposits in the Yorkshire region.
The caverns house numerous prehistoric remains, including wolverine bones and reindeer fossils dating back approximately 90,000 years in specialized display areas.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7°C throughout the year, requiring visitors to wear warm clothing and appropriate footwear during their exploration.
The Sentinel formation stands as a massive column reaching 9 feet 6 inches in height, formed through mineral deposits over 10,000 to 15,000 years.
