The Frozen Waterfall

First christened the 'frozen waterfall' by the Victorian visitors, the feature is a wall of rock completely covered in calcite or flowstone formations.

It is one of the few places in the cavern where blue/grey, orange and black colouration can be seen. (Manganese producing the blue/grey, Iron Oxide the orange and soot from the gas lamps creating the darkest stains).
