This picture is from Gyokusendo caves in Okinawa. It shows that stalactites grow very slowly, only 1 centimeter in 30 years. That is about an inch in 76.2 years.
Эта фотография была сделана в пещерах Гёкусендо на Окинаве. На ней показано, что сталактиты растут медленно, по одному сантиметру за каждые 30 лет, или один дюйм за каждые 76,2 года.
Just interesting notes and pictures from our travels.
