Geocache Description:

To do this cache you must cross the ice in winter or use a boat at other times of the year.

Sea Caves are formed when powerful ocean waves crash against cliffs along the ocean shore. The waves carve out the caves by wearing away the loose parts of these cliffs. Caves are formed at the foot of these cliffs.

Sandstone Caves took millions of years to form. What is now dry land, used to be covered with water. Sand on the bottom of the sea became pressed together and pushed upward. Water from the sea flowed away as this happened causing large caves to form in the cliffs. Over the years, moving water carried the loosened sandstone away forming the large holes or caves inside the cliffs.

To log this cache post a picture of yourself at the cave with your GPSr. If you are alone you may take a picture of your GPSr at the cave.
Also answer the following two questions and email them to me.
1. What is the length of the cave.
2. What is the height of the cave.
