Eligible papers shall be judged by an interdisciplinary panel appointed by the Mitchell Award sub-committee chair. For consideration, contact sub-committee chair, Dr. Kathy Lavoie at award-mitchell@caves.org.
Some lava tubes are referred to as ice caves because they contain ice within. The natural thermal shield provided by the surrounding lava allows these caves to trap cold air during winter months. In some instances, these delicate environments create perfect conditions for exceptionally impressive ice crystalization.
