This video was taken spontaneously. It was one continued take with no script. No cuts. I just wanted to say that I'm immensly proud of myself to be able to talk for 5 minutes straight about caves. Who would have thought?
I do believe I made a mistake in saying that the main job of a cave tour guide is to stop people from doing things- their main job is to educate and enlighten!
I am an Official UK Fenix Ambassador! They are a headtorch company I have used for many years and their products have never failed me under and overground. My videos are primarily lit with Fenix Torches:

I had NO idea touching them stopped their growth! Me, being the general public, would definitely want a guide :p

I always thought they turned off the lights to conserve energy. The concept of lantern flora never crossed my mind.

Very informative video! (I kept hearing Speedy-fm, some sort of cave radio :P )

Well done on the one take! It seems that education is needed - I didn’t know that touching a stalagmite etc would stop its growth. The very least the owners of the caves can do is put up some signs to alert people. I wonder if moving the lights would also limit the lantern flora?

Great video, very impressed with it being one shot :D
But with it being another video from your holiday, I do hope you remembered to also relax while there :D

My first experience in a cave the guide showed us the damage done by the first indigenous explorers hundreds of years ago. One example was a deep impression of a hand print on a stalagmite where the minerals refused to deposit. The surrounding rock continued to grow making the hand print more obvious over time. Compared to the natural beauty all around us I remember how vulgar the hand print seemed to me.

Even the carbon dioxide in one's breath causes damage in some caves. Tom Scott has a great video about a tourist-friendly copy of a cave in France, with art accurate to the millimeter created with authentic materials. I had no clue that touching a stalagmite would halt it's growth, but it makes perfect sense as to why! Makes me wonder just how much cumulative damage has been done to cave systems where people go recreationally.

This is said all over the place, and makes sense. I'm searching for science papers that might have evaluated whether cleansing the oils off restores the deposition rate. Do you have any leads on that?

Nicely done. Not just a Fenix ambassador, a responsible cave visitor ambassador too. Not at I would, but I now know touching them stops their growth and why. Is this the same cave from before or are you actively cave hunting now while on vacation? :)
|
Even with the best guides and most cooperative tourists (or cavers), damage can still happen by accident. There's a limited amount of this natural beauty and like all other things, its wise management will be a challenge. Perhaps you've got this?

If only people could be trusted.

Keep in mind that we are one beautiful family on a non rotating FLAT EARTH in the magnetic CENTER MASS of the whole universe 🙏

shitty blue lights, put 1750 kelvins lights with polarized glasses.

This is a really tough issue as even caves only open to cavers suffer from damage including stalagmites/stalactites being broken and covered in mud. I can think of so many examples of stal being damaged even in the depths of systems. There is an argument that opening some caves up to tourists is a good way to protect them as the owners have a vested interest in protecting them despite the risks of lantern flora (when the owners properly look after the cave of course).
