Another great Palau site is nestled in the Rock Islands and called Chandelier cave, which is a huge cave system under one of the islands close to Korror harbor. This system extends a couple of hundred meters under the island. It is so named because of the stalactite formations that hang like chandeliers from the roof of the cave. From the entrance there is an inky blackness as visitors peer inside and, as they cautiously enter, they are enveloped in this total darkness. This can be disorienting initially, even when they turn their light on. There are several large chambers to explore and it is eerie to hang in the vast crystal clear visibility with the hanging rock formations piercing the occasional air pocket. Various side chambers have air pockets too, which are large enough to surface in. These air spaces also have stalactite like formations and hot, humid air. The air chambers reverberate as tourists hold conversations and echo with the splish-splash of fresh water dripping from the ceiling, presumably having soaked all the way through the rock from the rainforest above. The cave is largely devoid of life though, although there are a few fish that inhabit the twilight world inside. There is tremendous visibility but as you go deeper the main chamber opens out and you can lose sight of the walls. Although totally black inside it is impossible to get lost. As your eyes adjust to the low light you realize that there a dim light from the entrance is visible from all parts, and all secondary chambers are dead ends which you can soon backtrack from.
