Arctomys Cave, Cave system in Mount Robson Provincial Park, Canada.

The limestone cave system extends through 3496 meters of passages and reaches a depth of 536 meters beneath Trio Mountain.

George R. B. Kinney first found the cave during the 1911 Alpine Club of Canada-Smithsonian Robson Expedition, descending 250 feet into its depths.

Members from McMaster University, Guelph University, and the Albert Speleological Society conducted extensive surveys between 1971 and 1973.

The cave features five distinct pitches measuring up to 15 meters deep, with passages transitioning from steep descents to horizontal sections.

The Straw Gallery section contains mineral formations including flowstone and elongated soda straws emerging from the limestone ceiling.
