Lechuguilla Cave (New Mexico, USA) is one of the most beautiful caves on Earth. Since its discovery in
1986, more than 240 kilometers of cave has been explored – with no end in sight. Owing to its
geologic setting and unusual process of formation, the cave contains a remarkable diversity of rare
minerals and formations, which have helped change our understanding of how caves form and the
microbial life they can contain.
In this book, the most active explorers of the cave show the features that made it famous and reveal
new discoveries in terms of beauty, scale, and science. Through their writing and photography, they
take the reader on their journey of preparing for, and exploring, this remarkable cave. They describe
how to successfully live and work in the underground, and highlight the challenges that must be
overcome to discover and map new passages. An explanation of how the stunning imagery is
captured takes the reader along in this visual journey of Discoveries in a Hidden Splendor. Finally, the
extraordinary lengths undertaken to conserve Lechuguilla are illustrated, and how such efforts go
hand-in-hand with exploration and photography to reveal the intriguing nature of this wonder of the
underground.
