This dramatic postcard features the Phosphorescent Room inside Crystal Cave at Sequoia National Park in California. The photograph by Steven M. Bumgardner captures the spectacular underground formations including impressive stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over thousands of years. A large pendant stalactite dominates the left side while intricate flowstone formations create rippled patterns on the cave walls. Light from the cave entrance creates an ethereal glow in the distance. As noted on the card, the Phosphorescent Room is located off the regular tour route in an upper level and is the cave's second largest room after Marble Hall. Crystal Cave was discovered in 1918 and features over three miles of passageways decorated with polished marble and fascinating speleothems. Published by Scope Enterprises, Colorscope Photo Prints series, card number S-413, made in the USA.
