INTRODUCTION

• The Cayman Islands are a beautiful group of
  islands located in the western Caribbean Sea,
  known for their crystal-clear waters, sandy
  beaches, and lush greenery.
• Crystal Caves, one of the top attractions on the
  islands, is located on Grand Cayman in the
  Northside area.
• The caves were discovered in the early 1990s and
  have since become a popular destination for
  tourists and locals alike.

FORMATION OF CRYSTAL CAVES

• Crystal Caves were formed over millions of years
  through a combination of geological processes.
• As the island rose above sea level, rainwater
  seeped through cracks in the rock and dissolved
  the limestone, creating tunnels and chambers
  underground.
• Over time, the water also deposited minerals such
  as calcium carbonate, which formed the stunning
  stalactites and stalagmites found within the
  caves.
• The result is a breathtaking underground
  landscape that offers a glimpse into the unique
  geological history of the Cayman Islands.

• Throughout the caves, visitors can marvel at the

  years of water dripping and mineral deposition.
