Is this the world’s most beautiful cave? 

These stunning ‘Marble Caves’ located in Patagonia’s General Carrera Lake have been formed as a result of centuries of wave erosion against calcium carbonate cliffs. Light bouncing off the water causes a colourful ‘light display’ on the cave walls, whose colours vary dependent on the time of day and weather conditions.
