Blue Hole, Lighthouse Reef, Belize
Approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Belize City, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) across and some 400 feet (123 meters) deep.

The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish—and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole
edge.

Rising and falling in sinuous curves, sandstone formations epitomize the beauty and solitude of the Southwest‘s unspoiled lands.

Caravans like this are becoming harder to find as the nomadic people of the area become increasingly sedentary.
