105: Ice Cave In The Medicine Lake Highlands

This recording was collected inside an ice cave in the Medicine Lake Highlands, Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The cave itself is a lava tube which collects cold air during the winter, and as snowmelt and rain seep through the lava above, it freezes inside the lava tube which preserves the cold within throughout the year.

You may need to turn the volume up for this recording. As you might imagine, the sound of the dripping water inside the cave is not terribly loud, and I didn't want to turn up the gain too much on the recorder because it would have sounded artificial.
