10m long “dinosaur teeth”
On our three-year
long world trip, we visited many countries including Croatia, where we
stayed on the big peninsula of Istria. Here we visited many locations
one of which was Jama (cave) Baredine. A beautiful cave with
stalagmites and stalactites, these icicles of minerals (stalagmites)
has been formed over ten-thousands of years by dripping water.
Stalactites are the same except they grow from the ground upwards.
These stalactites and stalagmites grow 1mm in twenty to thirty years.

The cave has five chambers going diagonally downwards 132m. In the
third chamber we saw a huge boulder which had fallen thousands of
years ago. The tour guide also showed us some of the transparent
stalactites; he held his powerful flashlight against one of them and
turned it on. The stalactite shined white, he explained to us that
this one in held no iron or copper. The next one, though, was bright
orange so it in held lots of iron and copper.

On the surface we had +30° (in October),
but after the fourth chamber the temperature became +14°. Also in this
chamber we looked down a hole in the floor which went vertically down
82m to the lower lakes. Here we saw stalactites which were shaped like
the Leaning Tower of Pisa and 10m long “dinosaur teeth”. In the 5th
chamber we saw the upper lake in which we found a mysterious Man Fish
an endemic animal species of this Karst region. On the other side of
the lake was a stalactite shaped like Virgin Mary.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
The visit was my
science lesson. This type of lesson is more informative and gives a
better impression then information out of a school book.
