Found by Virginia Tech cavers dropping a rope down a sinkhole, the main room runs a football field long under a hundred feet of rock, hung with a thirty-ton stalactite called the Snowy Chandelier. In 1971 a man sat on top of a stalagmite in here for a hundred and twenty eight days to take a world record nobody has since wanted. Cave bear bones came out of the same chamber.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
