about

Kingsdale Master Cave, Gragareth, England

The landscape known as karst is created from limestone, potholes, and caves. The Yorkshire Dales National Park has over 2500 known caves and includes the longest system in Britain. For the last 2.5 million years, Ice Ages cycled time. Each freeze would mean an eventual thaw, and the Yorkshire valleys surfaces where wiped clean. All animals, peoples, histories which existed in these lands remain fossilised in the evidence of time lost. The Victoria cave which was first discovered in 1837 is known to span 600,000 years and include evidence of the last four times northern England was covered in glaciers, while also holding evidence of what happened during the six warm (inter-glacial) periods in between. These mysterious worlds have been claiming lives and peaking interested since the late 19th century when victorian explores first began to venture into them. Before this these lands where largely untouched my people, or any living life. In the cave it is dark, quiet, and devoid of life. No fish swim in the water, no moss is even to be found. Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is quite often composed of skeletal frames of marine organisms. The stone dissolves in water over time, leaving marks of history, ridges, joins, stalactites, and stalagmites. Telling stories in these underground world only to each other.

This rock was taken from the Kingsdale Master Cave, elevation 275m, length 4.20km, depth unknown. Rock type is Great Scar Limestone. The kingsdale Master Cave is believed to have the longest underwater network of passages in Britain.
