San Salvador Garden Cave

San Salvador Garden Cave

The San Salvador Garden Cave is located near the hilltop south of Reckley Hill Pond & north of the eastern end of Crescent Pond, northeastern San Salvador Island, eastern Bahamas. This cave is being studied and visited by professors and students from the Gerace Research center.

Flank margin caves have no surface entrances. Access to them occurs only after surficial erosion intercepts chambers or passages. Garden Cave is an erosional remnant of a larger flank margin cave. Much of the remaining cave has large to small ceiling collapses, resulting in windows (a.k.a. skylights) - sub-vertical conduits and openings between the land surface and cave passages or rooms. The cave is now partially filled with fine-grained sediments, limestone rubble, and soil.
