Summary[edit]

| Description |
English: Western Kentucky's Mammoth Cave is the longest cave system on Earth, with 426 miles known and mapped as of March 2024. The name does not refer to the early discovery of fossil mastodon or mammoth bones here. Rather, the name refers to the immense size of many rooms and passages.
The system has a variety of cave passages: tubular passages, canyon passages, vertical shafts (= domepits), keyhole passages, and giant canyon passages. The forested depression seen here is part of a surface sinkhole. The stairsteps leadi to the Carmichael Entrance of Mammoth Cave. Tourists use the shelter and the entrance at the beginning of Grand Avenue Tours and Wild Cave Tours. |
