A spelunker's dream
   
  Humans have discovered and stepped on almost every swath of terrain on   the planet, yet there are still places that have not been explored.   Modern spelunking expeditions are unlikely to produce such fantastical   results as Jules Verne's "A Journey to the Center of the Earth", but   there are still some stunning sights to behold. Here are nine amazing   caves from around the world that will make your jaw drop.

  Fingal's Cave
   
  Fingal's Cave, a sea cave located on the uninhabitated island of Staffa,   Scotland, consists of a large series of hexagonally shaped basalt   columns. It was named after the hero of an 18th century Scottish epic   poem by James Macpherson. Because of its arched ceiling, it produces   eerie echoing sounds, which prompts its name, "Uamh-Binn," which means   "cave of melody" in Gaelic.

  Carlsbad Caverns
   
  Discovered in the late 1890s by cowboy Jim White, Carlsbad Caverns is   located near the Guadalupe Mountains of southeastern New Mexico and   boasts the third largest cave chamber in the Americas. The park features   a vast array of rooms and chambers: the Big Room, the New Mexico Room,   King's Palace, Queen's Chamber, the Spirit World and more than 100   others. It was officially established as a national park in 1930, and   since then, it has welcomed 400,000 visitors a year.
