What new caverns might be found in the Carlsbad Caverns?

Who knows? They've not been found yet.

I'll invite the local cavers to expand specifically but the joy

• and often frustration - of original cave exploration is that you

have no real idea until you find it. Yes, you can predict that extensions to a cave may exist, but you cannot be sure till you reach them.

There's an old Somerset (S.W. England) cavers' dictum (actually I know who coined it), that, "Caves be where you find 'em!"

That's as true in Carlsbad Caverns or the Flint Ridge - Mammoth system as it is on the saying's home territory of the more modest Mendip Hills.
