  • About 30 limestone caves have already been developed at the basin of the River Dong. baekyong Cave, Hwaam Cave, and Jeolgol Cave are of great worth, not noly as a matter of study, but as a matter of the tourist resources they develop. Among them Baekyong Cave is the best. I'm going to give a full detailed account of cave deposits and cave phenomena focused on its view to preserve the looks of Baekyong Cave by analyzing the speleothem of Baekyong Cave and cave system scientifically and systematizing them. Baekyong Cave, Natural Monument Ho. 260, is on the verge of being submerged. Peculiar things in Baekyong Cave are 1) pseudo stalgmite 2) anthodites 3) erratic stalagmites 4) cave shield 5) lost river 6) cave flint 7) pit fall but I have also mentioned general and related matters.

  • This is but a brief description of a cave which, although well known to local inhabitants, appears to be unknown to the N.Z.S.S. It is reputed to be one of several caves in this region, but we have so far been unable to continue our prospecting here as fully as is needed. The cave is in no way unique nor of an outstanding nature; being within an isolated remnant of a much younger limestone which appears to have once extensively overlain the old Paleozoic basement rocks of the Aorere valley region. It seems probable that it is in the same limestone as the well-known Te Anaroa tourist cave, at Rockville near Collingwood, and that of the Brown River caves south of Bainham.(omitted)

  • The purpose of this study is to grasp the distribution characteristic of tour cave in northeastern Asia. It is examined to use internet homepage to get the status of tour cave in northeastern Asia. First, the total of tour cave is 116 and, in type limestone cave is extremely many. Second, the distribution character by nation has been shown China, Japan and South Korea in sequence. In the type tour cave, China, South Korea and North Korea are more popular with limestone cave while Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong have more marine caves. This study mainly relies on the research of internet homepage. Therefore, after this, activated research about tour cave is needed through comparison and analysis with more concrete statistical data and tourist behaviour by nations

  • To find out the natural environmental characteristics of Ondal Cave, temperature, humidity, wind speed and water temperature have been investigated. When compared to other caves, in sum, Ondal Cave has shown no significant difference interms of natural environment. Inparticular, Ondal Cave was higher than other limestone caves by 1-2$^{\circ}C$ in terms of water temperature due to high inflow of river water nearby.

  • The research of caves widely deals with geomorphology, meteology, geology, biology, archaeology and physiochemistry. Most famous caves in Korea are in Dongrong Cave in Yongbyun-Goon in 1929, Sungru Cave in Uljin in 1960s. Lava caves were developed as Gymrung Sa Cave, Manjang Cave and Hupje Cave in Cheju Island.

  • 1. Stafford's Cave, named by the miners because a former visitor, Mr. Stafford, broke his leg in it, is the most northern of the three caves. The entrance lies concealed in the undergrowth, but is otherwise wide and open. A steep conical shaft leads down for a depth of about 80 ft from the floor of the cave; at the bottom, rammed in between the two walls, lies a great block of limestone below which a rivulet streams forth, flowing through the cave, which runs from east; in the cave it is joined by a little tributary.(omitted)
