Fascinating LURAY Caverns, Virginia - 4K UHD

Touring the fascinating Luray Caverns in Virginia. Luray Caverns began to take shape some 400 million years ago in what it now the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It was discovered on August 13, 1878 by five local men, including Andrew J. Campbell (a local tinsmith), his 13-year-old nephew Quint, and local photographer Benton Stebbins. Their attention had been attracted by a protruding limestone outcrop and by a nearby sinkhole noted to have cool air issuing from it. Seeking a cavern, the men started to dig and, about four hours later, a hole was created for the smallest men (Andrew and Quint) to squeeze through, slide down a rope and explore by candlelight. The first column they saw was named the Washington Column, in honor of the first United States President.

The Caverns attract thousands of visitors a year and contain many stalactites (formed at ceiling) and stalagmites. It also contains The Great Stalactite Organ, the world's largest musical instrument because the music-playing stalactites cover 3.5 acres. The temperature inside the caverns remains uniformly around 54 °F (12 °C).
