Anchialine refers to seawater flooded caves and groundwater along the coastlines of both
volcanic as well as limestone terrain. The island of Spanish island of Lanzarote in the
eastern Atlantic contains spectacular volcanic lava tubes on land as well as beneath the
sea floor. The Atlantida tunnel cave is the world’s longest submarine lava tube and has
been explored by cave divers for 1.6 km.
Excursions - to caves and sites of scientific, scenic or cultural interest. If the number of participants is large, the group may be split into 2 or 3
smaller groups. Possible evening activities include a party, a fireworks display and an ethnic cultural show. All these activities would be in the
Dray Sap Special-Use Forest.
