Have you ever read a book called " Styx " ? It's about going into a very deep cave and getting trapped after what I think was an earth quake occurred. The only way the could try and get out was by following an underground river they called Styx,. At the end of the book they were still going deeper and deeper into the earth. Me in a cave no matter how beautiful, never.

Hamilton Pool Preserve, in Austin, Texas, was created quite naturally when the dome of an underground cave collapsed revealing this stunning natural pool.

Hamilton Pool from another perspective. When there’s been heavy rainfall, 45ft waterfalls cascade from the rim of the cavern. It must be pretty spectacular when you’re bathing.
