Tongue of ocean

If to look at island from above, it is necessary to notice the wrong form dark blue stains are and there are inputs in an underground labyrinth of the flooded caves connected among themselves by transitions and galleries.

It is considered that formation of these places has begun about 130 million years ago. Change of the periods called sea level differences, the part of caves has appeared under water, but has soon fallen. Other caves on the contrary grew upwards, and in some places open mines were formed thus. Then again water has come, and there were dark blue holes.
