We visited Carlsbad Caverns today to study the different structures found in the caverns. I have visited the caverns before but not with the knowledge I have gained so far from G-Camp. Now I understand the changes that occurred to form the stalactites, stalagmites and other structures. I can actually wonder at the chemistry involved and hopefully use it in my classes in the coming year.
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour through the caverns and hopefully you can see some of the speleothems with the pictures I took (and I took quite a few). Just click the ones below to get to the rest.
After Carlsbad, we traveled to Alamogordo in New Mexico. There is some very interesting geology that we saw along the way. Rick and Jack described the conditions that were needed to explain these subsurface structures

Hey Efren!
Great blog you got here. I like the pictures and videos posted as supported by your detailed accounting of what is going on in the geology camp. Thanks for your help and really do appreciate it.
