Tourist Caves:

Alaska has various types of caves, including true limestone solution caves which are found on Wales Island and in the Wrangell-St.Elias, glacier caves in southern coastal mountains and even lava tubes on the Pribilof Islands.

There are many limestone caves on the northern end of Prince of Wales Island, including two mile long El Capitan Cave. More karst areas appear on numerous other nearby islands of the southeastern panhandle of Alaska, encouraged by the acidic muskeg of the temperate forests. Other karst areas lie scattered across the interior of Alaska, from the Brooks Range.
