Andrea Corskrey (cq), front, and Drew Bewley (cq), back, students from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky., work on mapping a room inside of Crump's Cave, near Smiths Grove, Ky., which is which contains a crystal blue, underground lagoon. The cave contains glyphs on the clay banks of a passage 1000 m from the entrance that is off limits to the general public.
