One of the most iconic and striking parts of Lechuguilla cave is called Pearlsian Gulf. It is named after the beautiful and pristine cave pearls that litter the floor around a beautiful emerald green pool of water. Pictured here, Prof. Hazel Barton leads Gina Moseley around the side of the small emerald green pool of water in Pearlsian Gulf. Giant stalagmite speleothems grow close to the backwall.
