Description:
A large limestone column in Carlsbad Caverns, formed when a stalactite merges with the stalagmite below. On the right side of the photo, between the column and the wall, hang several sheet-like formations known as limestone curtains or drapes. There are also clusters of the small hollow formations called soda straws hanging from the wall.
