Spelunking Challenge: Sea Cave Trivia

Sea caves form around a rocky coast line, where the ocean etches away at the cliff face in a process called mechanical weathering. These caves are also called “littoral caves.”

Some especially unique sea caves include the Blue Grotto on the coast of the Italian island of Capri, which features bright blue water with an irredescent glow, thanks to the effects of sunlight as it pours through the caves opening. Fingal’s Cave in Scotland is another magnificent sea cave, propped up on hexagonally jointed basalt columns, and boasting impressive acoustics.

The longest sea cave in the world is the Matainaka Cave in New Zealand, which was surveyed in 2012. It was found to be 1.54 km in length or 5,051 feet (slightly under a mile), and is still growing!
