International Mapping worked with the National Park Service and Argentine Productions to produce an exhibit explaining the formation of Mammoth Cave, the most extensive cave system in the world. The Green River cut through a layer of resistant sandstone to the softer layers of limestone underneath. Water then started flowing through the slightly angled limestone layers to reach the new river level. This water dissolved the cave passages along the first layer and then along subsequent layers as the river continued cutting deeper and deeper.
