Unveiling the geological history of The Polar Caves Park
"Dark, cold and eerie" was my first impression when I visited The Polar Caves Park. Located in Rumney, New Hampshire, The Polar Caves Park is a limestone cave system that was formed about 50,000 - 60,000 years ago during the last glacial period. The park is filled with various rock formations including stalactites, stalagmites, and draperies. It's also home to several polar-caves where the temperature remains below 10 degrees Celsius all year round. Apart from the unique geological formations, the park has a rich history. Native Americans once used these caves to store food and seek shelter. The caves were later discovered by a local farmer in the 1800s who opened them for public tours. Today, The Polar Caves Park is a popular tourist destination that attracts people from all over the world. Compared to other places I've visited in New Hampshire, The Polar Caves Park is both unique and educational.
