The cave is considerably older than most of the Clare caves and originally contained a large stream. The stream has all but disappeared from the cave and is heavily backfilled with glacial infill. The formations visible on the show cave tour are rarely more than 8,000 years old but calcite samples in the recesses of the cave have been dated to ...
The Burren (/ ˈ b ʌr ə n / BURR-ən; Irish: Boirinn, meaning 'rocky district') [1] is a karst/glaciokarst landscape centred in County Clare, on the west coast of Ireland. [2] It measures around 530 square kilometres (200 sq mi), within the circle made by the villages of Lisdoonvarna, Corofin, Gort and Kinvara. [3]
View with karst limestone pavement in foreground. Poulnabrone dolmen is located on a low circular mound measuring c. 10 m (33 ft) in diameter. The site is east of the Poulanine and Glensleade valleys, beyond which are the rocky Baur and Poulnabrucky hills.

The terminus of the cave is a low bedding plane which eventually becomes too low to progress. The water resurges at the Killaney rising to the south of the cave.

Ice cave history. Mount Rainier was once known for its well-developed ice cave system, the Park Service said. Those melted away due to a warming climate. Now, ice caves are seasonal and more unstable.
