Veiled Statue, Carlsbad Caverns National Park
A mammoth column known as the Veiled Statue stretches from the floor to the ceiling of the King's Palace, a section of Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Columns, a type of speleothem, are formed when groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate solution seeps into the cave. Then that solution is exposed to the air in the cave, carbon dioxide gas is released and calcite is deposited.
