In a side passage off Krem Chympe’s (Peilkleing Pouk) main underground river, Swiss caver Marie-José Gilbert strides past the camera on her way deeper into the cave. In the background of the photograph, giant stalagmites and calcite columns grow in a densely crowded forest of formations. There are many caves in Meghalaya full of breathtaking formations like these with several on a much larger scale.
