A BBC program from the series Planet Earth, from the “Caves” episode (April 2007) on Lechuguilla Cave, NM, probably the most beautiful of all cave systems in the world. The video, voiced by David Attenborough, is outstanding. It took the BBC two years to get permission to film the cave, an event that will not be allowed again for the foreseeable future due to the fragile nature of the cave and its ecosystem.
Many years ago, I visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park, with its beautiful caves. Lechugilla is part of the park but it is only open to scientists.
