The act of exploring a cave for recreation is called ' caving', 'potholing', or occasionally (only in the USA) ' spelunking'. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cave"

It became a World Heritage Site on October 27, 1981, and an international Biosphere Reserve on September 26, 1990. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mammoth Cave National Park"
